Hello OGDers :
What is the purpose of the following decision (?) :
"America's agriculture secretary, Ann Veneman, ended a directive that protects almost 60m acres of national forest in western states from road building. The states will instead be allowed to submit their own conservation and development proposals for the nature spots to the federal government."

Politics this week Jul 15th 2004 From The Economist print edition
Are states more favorable to the environment than the federal government ?
