BLM and Forest Service leadership have raised concerns that Sen. John Barrasso’s (R-Wyo.) bill to slow the spread of invasive species on federal lands shortcuts environmental protections and praised the bill’s goals.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands, Forests and Mining, expressed concerns about adding public land to the federal Wilderness system. "This is troubling to me," he said, adding, "it could have far-reaching impacts for the management of our forests and public lands."
The untenable arguments being made by Republican senators against an Obama Supreme Court nomination are not the type of distraction we need from the Trump campaign.
