By an overwhelming vote of 310-107, the U.S. House of Representatives has approved the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), allocating funding for much-needed repairs of infrastructure on public lands. The final step for the GAOA is to receive the signature of President Trump, who has indicated his willingness to sign the measure, allocating funding for “our beautiful public lands."
