CleanSlateNow.org just released their third story on how special interest PAC money influences Congress. The first two focused on Republican Mike Coffman and Democrat Diana DeGette. This one is about Cory Gardner. Here is an excerpt:
“The Colville River flows through much of the Brooks Range. Alaska’s largest Arctic River is home to 20 fish species. Known as an internationally-recognized area for nesting birds of prey, the Colville River’s bluffs provide significant nesting habitat for raptors such as Peregrine Falcon, Gyrfalcon and Golden Eagle.” – from On Arctic Ground
The river delta has been designated an “Aquatic Resource of National Importance.”
