Rob Bishop, Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources released the following statement:
“Do not be fooled. The announcement not to list the sage grouse is a
cynical ploy. With the stroke of a pen, the Obama Administration’s
oppressive land management plan is the same as a listing. Now,
successful conservation done at the state level will be in vain. The new
command and control federal plan will not help the bird, but it will
control the West, which is the real goal of the Obama Administration.
Some Western governors see this for what it is and I will work with them
to ensure the rational plans created at the grassroots level that solve
the problem will be the way forward to protect this bird."
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.
