Republicans take aim at Endangered Species Act

 

Republican leaders in Congress, bolstered by their election gains, no

doubt have several environmental laws and regulations in their

sights, but a top priority is revamping the Endangered Species Act.

Developers, many Republicans, and a handful of Democrats have long

contended that the act's requirements for protecting critical habitat

are outdated and burdensome to economic progress. Enviros view them

as the very soul of the act. Read about the state of play -- in

Muckraker, today on the Grist Magazine website.
