I know this may be a shock to some of you, but I am here to compliment Trump.
Now, that being said, I'm not giving him the praise some are. This is, after all, a reversal of just last month when his budget proposed slashing LWCF down to 1% of the full funding levels ($14.8 million out of $900 million) and 3% of what Congress appropriated last year ($485 million). I am guessing that they told him that this could be a bipartisan win leading up to the election, which it could be, and if this works out then it is a big win for our public lands and I am excited for that.
