Impact to Wetlands: SB410

Virginia Senate Bill #410, another gem from State Senator Emmett Hanger, has been postponed for reconsideration next year. This means that the main "impact" of this bill may be to the future career of this "Republican FOR Agenda 21." If you have a vote against this guy and need further reasons to use it, read the full text of SB410 here:

"Contribution to a Board-approved fund, including the purchase from the fund of credits that have met their success criteria, may be permitted to compensate for impacts to wetlands or streams."

In other words, if you just give these friends of mine enough money, you can go right ahead and dump that barrel of mercury into the Bay!
