Please do not further weaken…

Please do not further weaken the Endangered Species Act in the name of “simplifying things”. I do not agree with the framing that these protections are “taking” money from housing and other needed social services. That money could come from other funds, for instance instead of beer and license plate incentives.

We need to increase the protections for our flora and fauna, not weaken them. They are vital to the integrity of our environment. They deserve dignity and respect. They should be protected at all costs, just like our children’s future should be. Thank you.
