You've seen enough of Carry_Okie's stuff to know better. This will not solve the problem, just make it harder to solve in the long run. I sat and listened to the scientist make their case on Klamath before the NSA. This bill would not have changed what happened in Klamath one bit. Government science is government science. Using the right hand instead of the left hand won't change the system but will make it harder to claim the system is bad once it has been "fixed".
You may well be right on this specific bill. What I thought refreshing was the attempt to tie endangered species designations to reality. If the data are false, "enriched", or otherwise lie about the true situation in the field, then all bets are off.
But golly gee, as an engineer, I'd like to see some reality introduced into this political football! The methods of the econuts are transparent, and I fume at the naked attempts (usually successful) to take land without remuneration in the name of "endangered species", when their actual agenda is a grab for power.
