Senator Jeff Bingaman talks about the highlights in the Senate this week, focusing mostly on debates to extend unemployment benefits, and the Natural Resource Adaptation Act. Bingaman strongly supports extending unemployment benefits for an additional 14 weeks, providing jobless individuals and families with a safety net to pay bills and mortgages with while looking for work.

Bingaman, along with Senators Tom Udall (NM), Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), and Max Baucus (MT) introduced the Natural Resource Adaptation Act, which would help mitigate the effects of climate change on natural resources. This is especially important in New Mexico, where water is scarce. This measure would provide information, planning strategies, and tools to adapt to an even further limited supply of water as the climate changes.
