44. I am not supporting any lie, why do you persist in saying such a distortion?

My remarks to the OP stand. Greed caused this. RIP

If you think anything will change with Trump in charge, good for you. I do not.

If you want this deleted have at it, I didn't post it. The reason this story was presented as it was by Outside Magazine was to bring notice to the fact the the issue doesn't have enough attention to change the problem. You don't have to agree with their tactic but it changes nothing about the fact it is dying, although not dead.

If you are so pressed for accuracy then ask the OP to add, Pending, since Trump will do nothing to prevent the state its in today.
