It is high time that we did. Regardless of whether Congress considers positive incentives, removing the negative incentives is imperative. Two-thirds of the American public realize that conserving endangered species is a noble cause, but taking private property without just compensation is ignoble, no matter how worthy the goal. The era in which the ends justified the means has past. The ESA has failed to achieve it's ends.
Nothing is left to justify the perpetuation of such a failed law.
Regrettably, the ESA is so fundamentally broken that even the reforms proposed by my former Republican colleagues in the Senate are insufficient.
