The Northwest Sportsman Magazine writes that a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee eliminated funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, an important source of funding for wildlife conservation in Washington state.
Excerpt: “Don’t get me wrong; I’m all for a balanced budget. But cutting programs that are guaranteed to put money in the bank for small businesses, outdoor manufacturers and keeps our American heritage of public hunting and fishing especially on public lands is simply the House subcommittee cutting off their nose to spite their face.”
