Some Very Good News

It's like a whole new world opening my e-mail in-box these days. Instead of horror stories from the environmental groups, there's one piece of good news after another.

Today, we are so pleased to learn that the Omnibus Public Lands Act has passed. This means all sorts of good things for the preservation of our beautiful lands to the tune of more than 2 million acres in various parts of the U.S.

So much to be done—and so, so much damage to be undone—but at least we are finally moving in the right direction.
