We were in Utah today when we read about Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's recommendation that Bears Ears National Monument be limited to "objects of historical interest." The Salt Lake City Tribune, which is a very good newspaper, noted that 90% of the public comments were in favor of retaining the Monument, and a majority of Utah residents also favored keeping it as set up by President Obama.
Indian tribes have been working on this project for many years. Along comes Secretary Zinke, and he wants to cut out a major portion of the monument. I suppose I should be happy that at least he wants to retain some of it. Of course, Trump could decide to eliminate the entire monument, and given his absolute hatred of Obama and everything Obama did, it wouldn't surprise me. It would disgust me.
