Barrasso says US Fish and Wildlife Service double-crossed Wyoming on wolf decision U.S. Senator John Barrasso says the federal government double-crossed the state of Wyoming in deciding to reverse its decision to remove gray wolves from the endangered species list. Lawyers representing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Monday told a federal judge in Montana that the agency intends to withdraw a decision it released this spring concluding that wolves no longer needed federal protection. Barrasso, a Republican from Casper, calls the Fish and Wildlife decision a "significant breach of trust." He says the federal wildlife agency reneged on its commitment to the people of Wyoming....You can tell Barrasso is a freshman senator - he still thinks you can trust the feds.
