2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2018 What do you think the city of Astoria should do about the homeless camps? THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK “If I knew what the answer was, I would wriggle my nose and make it happen.” “Invest in more compre- hensive wraparound social services that offer affordable and meaningful housing alternatives, instead of specific vouchers. And instead of criminalizing the camps.” “Give them jobs. Put them to work around the city. Even at mini- mum wage, they’ll get self respect and real- ize they are worthwhile human beings.” Tod Jones, Astoria Stephanie Bereson, Astoria Molly Pringle, Astoria Lawmakers work on fix for conservation fund renewal By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press WASHINGTON — A popular program that sup- ports conservation and out- door recreation projects across the country expired after Congress could not agree on language to extend it. Lawmakers from both parties back the Land and Water Conservation Fund, but the program lapsed Monday amid dispute over whether its renewal should be part of a broader package of land-use and parks bills. A Senate committee approved a bill on Tuesday to permanently reauthorize the fund and ensure it is fully paid for. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Commit- tee voted 16-7 to endorse a bill offered by Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state, the panel’s top Demo- crat. Five Republicans joined all 11 Democrats to advance the bill to the full Senate. Cantwell calls the con- servation fund “the key tool” that Congress uses to help communities “preserve recre- ation opportunities and make the most cost-effective use of the land.” The committee also approved a separate bill to address a growing back- Candidate forum tonight in Astoria The Daily Astorian An election forum fea- turing candidates for Astoria mayor and City Council, War- renton mayor, Clatsop County commissioner and state House District 32 is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight at Astoria High School, 1001 West Marine Drive. Patrick Starnes, the Inde- eral royalties from offshore oil and gas drilling to fund conservation and public rec- reation projects around the country. The fund is autho- rized to collect $900 million a year but generally receives less than half that amount from Congress. “I can’t think of a better legacy we can leave for gen- erations to come than to per- manently reauthorize” the conservation fund, Burr said. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, agreed. Bishop, who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee, is a key player on a range of public lands bills. He said in a statement that “LWCF can and will be reau- thorized,” but said the best path forward is in a broader legislative package that addresses a growing main- tenance backlog at national parks and other lands-related issues. Bishop and Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, the top Dem- ocrat on the resources panel, recently announced a biparti- san agreement to permanently reauthorize the LWCF and address the multibillion-dol- lar maintenance backlog at the park service and other agencies. The resources panel approved the bill last month, but the House adjourned until mid-November without vot- ing on it. log for maintenance proj- ects at national parks. A bill led by Republican Sens. Rob Portman of Ohio and Lamar Alexander of Tennes- see would use federal drilling royalties to create a multibil- lion-dollar maintenance fund for parks across the country. The committee approved the bill, 19-4, sending it to the full Senate. Portman said he has been concerned about the mainte- nance backlog — now esti- mated at about $12 billion — since he was budget director under President George W. Bush more than a decade ago. “We put something in the budget to deal with the back- log, not enough, but Con- gress has tried in different ways,” he said. “To me, it’s about good stewardship. It’s about saving tax dollars over the long term with predictable funding for capital expendi- tures. “ Portman and other law- makers also praised the bill to reauthorize the 54-year-old conservation fund. Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., called the fund one of the most popular and effective programs Congress has ever created. Congressional inac- tion has been frustrating, Burr said, especially since no one disagrees that the program is valuable and cost-effective.
