We need full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund
Its monies come from royalties paid by offshore oil and gas producers in federal waters-
The money for land and water acquisition has never been needed so much. The money comes from the oil companies, and they have been paying it for years. The only thing stopping its full authorized expenditure level has been Congress and/or the President who like to see the money just sit idle in the fund to make the federal deficit appear smaller.
Land and Water Conservation Fund deserves full funding. By Jim DiPeso.* The Daily Caller.
