Corp to ease wetlands permitting

www.msnbc.msn.com...

I’m no fan of the Army Corp of Engineers. It is a hidebound bureaucracy, and it certainly looks like they are trying to slip a fast one through.

Federal wetlands regulators have dropped a bombshell on environmentalists with a little-publicized proposal to relax restrictions on filling in certain wetlands along the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast to speed recovery from Hurricane Katrina.

While the speeding of recovery efforts is a laudible goal, recreating the exact situation prior to the disaster is not.
