Voice: Whatever happened to managing the land?

A small army of police quiets unruly off-roaders at the Algodones Dunes but fails to enforce illegal off-roading in closed conservation areas.

The Bush administration drains public lands of rangers for riot control, yet avoids a solution by failing to set carrying capacities to limit crowds. Despite environmental damage and extreme financial and staff demands, the Interior Department wants to roll back protections and open more areas to off-roading.

With all the emphasis on off-roaders, what ever happened to land management?

For all of Daniel Patterson's faults, I hear his boyfriend is a real nice guy.
How does he put up with Danny boy?

The same letter was in the Monday Riverside Press-Enterprise. Funny that he doesn't mention that as a member of the CBD, they consume much larger sums of money through litigation than the BLM would ever spend on law enforcement! [Mad]

I just wrote a letter to the editor of the I.V. Press. I encourage all of you to do the same! [Angry Fire]

please back up your statement with some data. How much money would the CBD get in a settlement? How much money does enforcement cost? I thought any settlement was only to reimburse for legal fees. If so, the money would go to Earthjustice, not CBD.
