FfFfFfFF 58,133 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 The Senate passed a major public lands bill on Wednesday, voting to set aside hundreds of millions of dollars each year for conservation efforts. The Great American Outdoors Act, which passed in a 73-25 vote, would permanently provide $900 million in oil and gas revenues for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), which helps secure land for trails and parks. The legislation will also put $6.5 billion toward addressing a maintenance backlog at national parks. The legislation also recently secured the backing of President Trump, who in earlier budgets proposed cutting the conservation fund by about 97 percent. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/502376-senate-passes-lands-conservation-bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me read this act to see what poison the republicans added. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
