Who needs help ? Jon Feine is happy to use his influence with the Feds to help the VNPA? with the "enormous burden of their administrative costs" a figure of $80000 was mentioned ( per State?) . Lots of community groups don't get anything , let alone a group who think that leasing a small area of public land within a National park is " not secure enough? " what Island of real world land management practice are they living on? , and why should the feds fund the greens - they get mostly what they want anyway? Maybe they believe in one day leases only? Maybe Nick and Jon and David Kemp would like to blog on why long leases are impractical , why leases aren't good enough for the very bright greens , how their organisation is representative , but can't get supporters ? Why they can run campaigns on our radio stations and with federal government help / we'll send em an invite eh !

The lesson in the sheep story ...and how to stop it dragging on? - ask the sheep or someone close to them, before you allow regular bleeters to but in again ! see nimbyism
