<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">There are groups, like the Healthy Habitats Coalition, that do not feel the ISAC or the National Invasive Species Council does anything worthwhile. They believe it would be wiser to use
tax payer dollars for work on actually controlling invasive species. It is a common complaint, whether correct or not, about government programs designed to address invasive species – too much bureaucracy and little to no real action. You can read more from
this group here: <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Mr.-George-Beck-Testimony.pdf">
