I applaud the intent of H.R. 4316 to track the funds expended to respond to ESA lawsuits...

The bill also ensures that data from local, State and tribal entities--those closest to the ground--be included in ESA listing decisions.

Refusing to make taxpayer-funded data available to the American public flies in the face of transparency and good science.

I've said it has never been my intent to introduce a sweeping overhaul of the ESA.
