Failure to Learn from Past Mistakes with Wetlands

"Three years ago the Senate voted to spend $8.1 billion to restore 35,000 acres of wetland in Florida's Everglades, today it voted to spend $181 million to destroy four times that many wetlands in Mississippi," said Melissa Samet, senior director for water resources at American Rivers. "Future generations of Americans will pay a terrible price for today's failure to learn from past mistakes."
