I can't believe this new bill, HR 2768, is going to study the feasibility of the Benton MacKaye National Scenic Trail. This is going to cost taxpayers millions of dollars and I just don't see the point of it. We already have so many other important issues that need funding, and this is just a waste of resources. I'm really disappointed in our government for prioritizing this over more pressing matters.
