what a fascinating case.

"Representative Jack Kingston, a Republican who represents the area, has been generally supportive of the trust’s efforts but has tried to caution its members on the political difficulties. 'Environmental advocates can be formidable adversaries,' he wrote in a May 25 letter to the trust."

Which is an understatement to say the least . . . .
