I'd forgotten about fritz , Whatever became of him ? Kinda miss you and GST's discussions (In a way) , There was both sides to most of the stories.
I stop in but have been very busy. It's all so predictable. Espringers posts something newsworthy and then certain posters make it about bad landowners. What this issue is about was in the last paragraph of the article.
The report notes, “Even though the Land and Water Conservation Fund is the single most powerful tool for opening landlocked public lands and connecting even more Americans to their best days afield, the program is set to expireon September 30, 2018. If this were to occur, conservation groups and public land management agencies would have limited ability to open and expand access to America’s public lands, despite the commitment of many public officials to do just that.”
Crisis....Crisis...Crisis...the Land Water Conservation Slush Fund is going to sunset. Sooo, invite 70+ journalists to a staged event and get the newspapers to write how the LWCF must be funded.
My favorite line is how this won't increase peoples taxes. The money comes from Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf oil lease money. About $5 billion dollars a year into the U.S. General Treasury. They simply want to divert $900 million of that into their coffers. giantsuckingsound
