Bill Introduced To Expand Wilderness Areas
Author: Noelle Straub Source: Casper Star-Tribune (WY)
Title: BILL INTRODUCED TO EXPAND WILDERNESS AREAS
Two East Coast lawmakers introduced a bill Friday with 73 co-sponsors that would designate as wilderness 23 million public acres in five Northern Rocky Mountain states, including Montana and Wyoming.
Reps. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Christopher Shays, R-Conn., wrote the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act. It would give the government's strongest protections to areas of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. They announced the measure along with songstress Carole King.
Three co-sponsors are from Washington and three from Oregon. Both Montana and Wyoming's representatives condemned the bill and vowed to fight it.

Subsidized development brings in taxes and other revenues, which trees and animals do not pay, unfortunately.
But when Connecticut and New York, put some land into wilderness of their own, then we shall see.
