Political Quotes

On the recordJune 27, 2013
Well, I think the chair of your committee, Mr. Hastings, who knows this, that only about 40 percent of the money that comes in for the Land and Water Conservation account, of the revenue that comes from the offshore drilling, only 40 percent of it is given back to the States for land and water conservation purposes. That other 60 amount just goes into the Treasury. That's where this money goes, and what you're doing is getting something that none of the other States have. If we want to revise the percentage of money that goes into the Land and Water Conservation Fund, I'm all for that.
