I am so sick of this crap by the gov't. They only study something to death so they don't have to do anything or they just won't enforce what they have on the books. Many of these great fisheries, shorelines and wildlife habitat have been squandered away via death by committee.
You hit the nail on the head but you forgot the part about special interest groups slowing things down, the influence money can buy through lobbyists, and corporations tying something up in court forever.
