Fantastic news and with LWCF funding. Cantwell and Murkowski deserve high praise.

Awesome!
"It’s a paradoxical win for conservation at a time when President Trump has promoted development on public lands and scaled back safeguards established by his predecessors.".
Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

Got a nice e-mail back from one of our Senators, both of whom are environmental stalwarts. I don't know her personally but sat next to her at the Beckey memorial. I thanked Senators Cantwell and Murkowski earlier today by e-mail.
| Quote: | | Gary,
The Senate has just passed my legislation to secure a permanent re-authorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund--The most important conservation program in the United States.
This is a legislative win for all of Washington, the thriving outdoor economy, and the entirety of the United States. Take a moment to check out this piece on the legislation in the Seattle Times, which sums up why this is such a critical victory for our state.
I am so honored to be able to work another term fighting for our state in the Senate, and am thankful for your past, and current support.

The link Senator Cantwell provided to the Seattle Times article, the LWCF is a very big deal and shows the Senate can still work together for common purpose.
