· Grand Prairie Area Demonstration Project- Deauthorizing this outdated irrigation project would save taxpayers $319 million.
· Individual Fishing Quotas-Adopting national standards on new quota programs could prevent the give-away of $15 billion worth of fisheries as well as protect against over-fishing.
· Savannah Harbor Expansion-Denying funding for this redundant and environmentally destructive harbor deepening project would save taxpayers $230 million.
· Superfund Reauthorization-Reauthorizing the Superfund tax would eliminate a $4 million-per-day tax break and ensure that toxic waste sites are cleaned up at the expense of the polluters-not taxpayers.
· Wildfire Management-- Each year, the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and other federal land management agencies spend hundreds of millions of dollars to extinguish wildfires. Better management of the programs would ensure that taxpayer expenditures on wildfire management are maximized.
