"Congressman Don Young and Senator Frank Murkowski
have filed bills calling for the largest amount of money ever attempted to be
allocated for federal and state land acquisition of private property in America.
The bill currently filed is HR 701, titled The Conservation and
Reinvestment Act. The current
bill does much more than just increase the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the
land acquisition funding mechanism. It
increases the total amount of offshore revenue to the government for CARA from
$2.8 billion to $3.1 billion with over $1 billion a year available for
acquisition of private property." |
