2. The Louisville Courier-Journal and the Lexington Herald Leader both
report that the Fish and Wildlife Service was pressured by "several
calls from the office of Senator Jim Bunning." This is a clear example
of how developers are getting around environmental regulations by asking
influential politicians to pressure government agencies. More
information about this is available in the newspaper articles that
reported this issue:

In Kentucky, we are exploring legal strategies to stop this process and are
also trying to publicize the issue. I am sending this note to you hoping
