In today\u2019s podcast, we\u2019ll focus on Ronald Reagan the environmentalist. So let's start by going back to California from 1967-1975 when he was Governor. Actually, he had an admirable record of safeguarding the environment, to the surprise of some of his critics. You see, Governor Reagan\u2019s administration added 145,000 acres of park land, more than any other modern California governor. He enforced new, tougher measures on air and water quality. He stopped plans for dams on two rivers, the Feather and the Eel, despite intense pressure from commercial interests and signed into law a bill to protect California\u2019s wild and scenic rivers.\xa0So let\u2019s first listen to Governor Reagan \u2013 and in the second half we\u2019ll catch his thoughts as President.
