Congressional Champions Call for Increased State Wildlife Grants Funding!
In a strong show of support for America’s wildlife, 155 Representatives and a record 62 Senators crossed ideological, regional, and partisan lines to sign a letter urging an increase in funding for the federal State Wildlife Grants, the nation’s core program for preventing wildlife from becoming endangered in every state. The letter, addressed to the Chairman and Ranking Member of both the House and Senate Interior Appropriations Committees, supports a funding level of $85 million for the State Wildlife Grants Program in Fiscal Year 2009.
Both the Senate and House letters were led by a bipartisan group from across the nation, including Senator John Warner (R-VA), Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA), Rep. Jim Saxton (R-NJ), Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) and Rep. Robin Hayes (R-NC).
