Katie,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finalized a plan to expand the Muleshoe Wildlife Refuge from 6,400 acres to 700,000 acres through land purchases and voluntary conservation easements.
I have two major concerns about a "voluntary" public land expansion by the federal government: I don’t believe this is a good use of taxpayer dollars; and, there’s no such thing as a "voluntary" government program.
I have shared my serious concerns with the Chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, am in close communication with U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and I will fight to defend West Texas against even a hint of federal overreach.
But, I want to hear from you directly.
