The Bush administration altered critical portions of a scientific analysis of the environmental impact of cattle grazing on public lands before announcing Thursday that it would relax regulations limiting grazing on those lands, according to scientists involved in the study.
A government biologist and a hydrologist, who both retired this year from the Bureau of Land Management, said their conclusions that the proposed new rules might adversely affect water quality and wildlife, including endangered species, were excised and replaced with language justifying less stringent regulations favored by cattle ranchers.</i>
I’m sure it would be easy to chart, but my gut feeling is, if a choice is to be made between big business and ANYTHING else- the environment, our laws, and us, the citizens, Bush picks big business, everytime. This is yet another example. Fits nicely with the stooge from ExxonMobil rewriting the global warming report the other day.
