NOTEWORTHY COMMENT: Lame duck White House launches assault on Endangered Species Act
Here is a statement by Betsy Loyless, Senior Vice President, National Audubon Society regarding the 11th-hour changes by the Bush administration concerning the attempt to weaken the Endangered Species Act:
“Science and sound decision-making have never been the hallmark of the Bush administration. Today’s proposal to gut the Endangered Species Act is the latest in a sad list of serial offenses against the environment. In fact, it’s likely to be one of many attacks on the environment the American public can expect as this administration limps out the door. We will fight this proposal in every way possible and can say with all sincerity that we look forward to January.”
