Bob's right on the money as usual.Bad timing though.With the election coming up Redford won't want this to muddy her capaign.Addressing decades of mismanagement,patronage and corruption regarding these grazing leases may happen later if enough voters press the issue.Sadly,even if the lease revenues are redirected to government coffers,there's no guarantee that money will be used to rehab,improve access,reclaim wetlands etc.More likely those millions will end up in 'general revenue' a black hole that still has our best astrophysicists baffled.

This is the point of contention that the Wild Rose has jumped all over. There is no way anything will change. The ranching lobby is way too powerful. Us fishermen, nature lovers and users, don't count for much, voting wise or hill of bean wise.

I've had little trouble believing anything Scammell says or writes since his "Native Fish Coddling An Insult" column of some yrs back. I'm sure he means well.

I have a copy of the column as a Word file on my 'puter, not sure if I know how to post it. I believe it was originally published in the Red Deer Advocate
