Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze said that increased drilling and a shortage of staff are behind his agency’s request for a fee system to increase the agency’s inspection capacity.

...

BLM is focused on a range of inspections, including drilling and production inspections.

...

Irregular and declining budgets have hindered our ability to move out aggressively in this area. Through the President’s 2015 budget proposal, we are now seeking to fund inspections through a fee system that will allow us to be much more responsive to the needs of industry and, importantly, to meet the foundational safety and accounting responsibilities of our oil and gas program

Need money do you, BLM? Sell your SWAT unit. The start eliminating your unicorn staff.

Another agency that should be disbanded and all of its assets sold off, all of its employees unceremoniously fired.

Maybe they would have enough money if they quit spending millions of dollars each year caring for and feeding thousands of mustangs that have been removed from the range. This is a real racket just to keep the unicorn lovers happy. Can’t kill the poor little horsies that no one wants.

Back in the early 19th Century there were so many horses in California that entire herds were driven off cliffs into the ocean.
