Rep. Richard Pombo (R-Calif.) is taking a new approach to changing the Endangered Species Act.
Rather than a full-scale rewrite, Pombo says he will take it on bit by bit. He believes the law infringes on the property rights of private landowners. He wants to add provisions requiring more rigid scientific reviews.
Pombo is chairman of the House Resources Committee, which has jurisdiction over natural resource and Indian affairs.
