Backstory: As you now know, on September 30, 2015, for the first time in 50 years, the United States Congress let lapse the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the largest and most successful federal funding mechanism for national and local conservation efforts. Paid for by a tiny percentage of federal leases paid by offshore oil and gas drilling operations, the LWCF has quietly and painlessly funded $16.8 billion of postcard-worthy success stories over the last half century, including Grand Canyon National Park, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, the White Mountain National Forest, and Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the nation’s first federal refuge.
Behind it all a clod of a human-like man that makes a living hating the hand that grossly overfeeds him with our tax dollars, Rep. Rob Bishop (R-UT)
