Do you think some of that stimulus money will be spread around to benefit our ecosystems? Talk is cheap. I would like to see them do some of these things.

I don't have any idea what will happen, but I am on the prowl lobbying on behalf of these ideas. I referenced this article in letters to several politicians in my area.

I guess not much will happen until people begin to realize it's their ox getting gored. What was the content of the letter you sent? I send letters and e-mails from time to time and get little or no response. Response I receive rarely if ever address my original concern. I don't think anyone is reading what I take the time to send which is a sad commentary.

The Soo Lock project is ridiculous. I am having difficulty believing they would even consider this to be a worthy shovel ready project.

Sorry.... I couldn't resist....another shovel ready project that created jobs that our stimulus money was used for, Feds Spent $800,000 of Economic Stimulus on African Genital-Washing Program | CNSnews.com. I’m thinking that money coulda better been used toward WNS and our bats but what do I know…. we better start paying attention or we'll have NOTHING left for the environment that we all depend on.
