John Olver, a genuine outdoors guy, has reason to celebrate with the advance of a major public lands bill with a procedural vote in the Senate that sets the bill up for an affirmative vote that lands it on President Obama's desk. The bill will create the New England National Scenic Trail including the Monadnock, Metacomet and Mattabessett trails. The legislation is national in scope and over in Alaska they do get to build a road, if not a bridge, but the state is swapping land with the Feds as part of the deal.
Its sort of standard to remark about Olver's professorial manner but he grew up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania and really does love the outdoors.
