McKeon Introduces Wilderness Bill
Just in time for the unofficial start of summer, Congressman McKeon introduced a long-awaited wilderness bill. Senator Boxer introduced the same bill in the Senate. McKeon announced the bill at a press conference in Bishop Friday, May 23, in front of a very receptive, and very thankful audience.
The bill includes pristine wild lands in the Eastern Sierra and in the San Gabriel Mountains of northern L.A. County–almost 500,000 acres total.
The bill represents the kind of foresight and compromise necessary to pass muster both in Washington and locally in the Eastern Sierra.
