Tom O`Halleran on Environment |
In addition to creating jobs and increasing tourism revenue, properly funding parks and forests reduces wildfire risks, helps protect natural resources, allows for better forest management, and makes better use of our water resources. Better water management further reduces risks posed by the state's current drought. Finally, proper funding of parks and forests improves the quality of life for Arizonans and visitors alike, increases our recreation opportunities, and provides better habitat for wildlife.
Library of Congress Summary: This joint resolution nullifies the rule finalized by the Department of the Interior on Aug. 5, 2016, relating to non-subsistence takings of wildlife and public participation and closure procedures on National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska.
Case for voting YES by House Republican Policy Committee: The Fish and Wildlife Service rule--which lays claim to more than 20% of Alaska--violates ANILCA (Alaska National Interest Land Conservation Act) and the Alaska Statehood Compact. Not only does [the existing 2016 rule] undermine Alaska's ability to manage fish and wildlife upon refuge lands, it fundamentally destroys a cooperative relationship between Alaska and the federal government.
Case for voting NO by the Sierra Club (April 6, 2017):
