Why is the environment and the protection of the very planet that sustains YOUR own life Mr. Ford always up for sale or negotiation? The delicate eco systems and species that inhabit them deserve our utmost respect and consideration as WE take over their world and build and develop for our own selfish needs. Refining the process so it is faster and less thorough is simply another way of making it easier to justify to ourselves that it is ok to bulldoze and demolish.

Then what? Oh crap, we took out another species!! Sorry?

Sometimes the decisions you make and attempt to change make no sense at all. We close a road for salamanders to cross in breeding season, yet we will streamline the permit process and protection of endangered species to hasten development?

Please reconsider this amendment. Nature deserves respect, time and care.
