It is sad, isn't it? What was shocking to me was the number of bills introduced vs the number actually passed. Every one of those 17,812 pieces of legislation required effort and funding to produce — to no avail (except for the 1,228 laws actually passed). I call that a bunch of hot air! But as citizens, if we're not aware of this, how can we make a difference?
While I enjoyed reading the article, I have to say, while not surprising, it is sad that even preserving our great Giant Sequoias is so political - sigh!
