Inhofe Honored As 'Legislator of the Year' By U. S. Fish & Wildlife Department

U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe, ranking member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has been named the U.S. Fish and Wildlife’s "Legislator of the Year" for his role in passing the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Act, which was approved by Congress and signed into law in 2006. The Partners Program has been a successful voluntary partnership program that helps private landowners restore fish and wildlife habitats on their own lands. Inhofe’s bill secured statutory authority for the Partner’s Program for the first time and provided additional funding and added stability for the program.
