The results of a Democrat controlled Congress are already manifesting. After repeated failure to even bring the Wild Sky Wilderness proposal to a vote in the House, the newly composed Congress has finally turned the tide. After expected passage in the Senate and signing by the President, 167 square miles of pristine forest and rugged peaks will be protected from development. I have hiked and climbed in these mountains and can attest that the habitat and beauty of this region is very worthy of the wilderness designation.
