The Boston Globe Editorial Board today editorialized in support of Senator Edward J. Markey's (D-Mass.) call to adopt a new climate-first approach to passing provisions of the Build Back Better Act. Senator Markey has encouraged the U.S. Senate to bring for a vote the climate justice and clean energy provisions of the Build Back Better Act, which have been largely negotiated, financed, and scored for ten years, as well as any of the other critical provisions to support working families that can get 50 votes.

"I've been talking to my Democratic colleagues as well as the White House, and my feeling is that we need to pass a Build Back Better package that can get 50 votes," said Senator Markey, co-author of the Green New Deal resolution. "I am not talking about a climate-only bill. I am talking about a climate-first bill."
