Good thing Trump's budget cuts state wetland protection grants
They need cutting because their is so much fork, waste and fraud in them that it is not even funny. It cost $2,000/acre - $90,000/acre with an average of $18,000/acre to restore saltwater wetlands in 1997 and $56,000/acre in 2014. I know that each project has different factors that affect the costs, but those do not explain the massive price jumps. The only thing that explains the massive price jumps is the same thing that explains why ever other government project takes too long and costs too much; government red tape and not caring about the costs.
