Congress members to propose revamping excess Endangered Species Act regulations

Tavares, FL                  July 7, 2018

YAHOO!!

 

Entire developments or even city parks are delayed and costs increased to protect "engandered species" like this worm (sand skink).

Congress members will propose several bills next week to amend the Endangered Species Act to remove nutty socialist restrictions and deal more objectively with landowner viewpoints and issues.

 

I know here in Lake County, FL, periodically even simple projects like a new city park in Astatula are delayed due to costs and work to "protect" worms (sand skinks).

 

"A bipartisan coalition of House lawmakers will roll out proposed amendments to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) next week to allow more input from landowners and local governments, the House Western Caucus announced Friday."

 

"Members of the Western Caucus will detail eight to 12 new bills in a press conference July 12. The amendments will address “problematic or dysfunctional” parts of the ESA that attempt to protect endangered species by placing strict regulations over land managers and severely limit land use."

 

Read more about the proposed legislation here (note - for some reason, the bizpacreview.com picture seems to be of African wild dogs (Dingos?), not US animals):

 

And, read a Heritage Action report HERE showing that many of the "progress" statistics for the Endangered Species Act are false, and nothing is accomplished.
