Pittman/Robertson funds

[crowbeaner]

Just out of curiousity, has anyone asked any of the current crop of candidates including HRC about the money that came up missing during her husband's administration? Seems I recall some higherups taking jaunts to the Carribean with funds from Pittman. Any calculations on how much less land and habitat we have now do to the depletion of these funds? Anyone ask the current occupant of the Oval Office about this? Or is this a case of fuhgeddaboutit because the looting, uh, misappropriation happened during the Clinton years?

You mean when the Congress tried to scrap the programme in 1999.Then there was a few senators in the early 90s who wanted to use the fund to pay for medical insurance of people who been shot. Theres not really been the white house though taking the money though sometimes the Fishing and Wildlife department can be a pain to get the money.

The only major time I heard of funds trying to be diverted big time though was in 2001.
