Shedding light on Washington's Obfus-Gate Scandal

The US Department of Interior was rocked with scandal following the revelation that Julie MacDonald, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and director of the Endangered Species Program, had been rewriting regulations, arbitrarily deciding which species to list, perhaps made decisions that could protect the value of her personal property, and perhaps most insidious of all, set back the efforts of generations of Americans who established the Endangered Species Act to proactively address the challenges facing hundreds of endangered species.

 

We hear from Noah Greenwald who has had a dog in this fight for a long time.
