Nolan to co-sponsor gray wolf bill

This Chump is trying to delist the wolves again!

Minnesota needs to kick this chump out of office just like Wisconsin needs to do to their Officials… What Happened to doing what the majority of their constituents want? Residents of these states as well as Nationwide had better be contacting Them!! Clearly these 2 states elected Officials are contribution driven… They have forgotten what it means to represent the majority!!

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan will sign on as a co-sponsor of legislation that would remove gray wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan from the Endangered Species list.

And Minnesota’s Democratic U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken are also supportive of getting the gray wolves delisted again.

Gray wolves were taken off the Endangered Species list in December 2011 in the Great Lakes area when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that their numbers had sufficiently recovered.

But a federal judge in Washington D.C. reimposed federal protection for the gray wolves, saying the removal had been “arbitrary and capricious” and violated the federal Endangered Species Act.

Rep. Reid Ribble, R-Wis., has introduced a bill that would restore wolves to their earlier unprotected status under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule from 2012 in not just the Great Lakes states but also Wyoming.

Nolan will join Reps. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., and Sean Duffy, R-Wis., as co-sponsors of the measure.

If approved and signed into law by the president, the legislation would trump the judge’s ruling. The bill is supported by the Minnesota Farm Bureau and Minnesota Farmers Union.

“I’ll be going as a co-sponsor of the Peterson bill. A good case has been made to delist the gray wolf. The bill won’t jeopardize the Endangered Species Act … and they can still be reclassified if necessary,” the 8th District Democratic congressman said in a telephone interview with the Mesabi Daily News on Friday
