Another payoff to GOP donor at expense of the environment

Eased drilling rules benefit GOP donor.
>>The government has eased Clinton-era oil and gas drilling restrictions on a large tract of desert grassland in New Mexico in a decision that benefits a large Republican donor in the state. The donor, George Yates, says his contributions and fund-raising assistance to Vice President **** Cheney had nothing to do with the decision. <<

Guess Yates has been listening carefully to Scalia...
