Political Quotes

“The goals of H.R. 708 are quite laudable. The National Park Service and the Jackson Hole community are concerned that the ranchlands and open space surrounding Grand Teton National Park may be developed, furthering the loss of wildlife habitat, migration routes, and scenic values. Much of the land south of Grand Teton has already been developed or is under pressure of development. H.R. 708 provides for a study to determine if there are viable means to preserving open space and ranching operations for the benefit of both the park and the community. This study has the potential to be a win-win situation for both the park and the local community. I hope that this is the case and look forward to seeing the final study. I support H.R. 708, as amended, and urge my colleagues to approve this proposed bill.”
