--Monumental questions abound. Can a president undo the national monument
designation of a previous president? The more relevant question at the moment
may be, will President Donald Trump actually rescind Barack Obama’s designation
of the Bears Ears National Monument in southern Utah? And the question that
generally follows is, will he then reduce the size of the Grand
Staircase-Escalante Monument?

our hands. And we will use it to light up the world.”

It is time for positive changes in relationships

responsibility for land and water use. Our Bringing Decision-making Home conference examines statutory
requirements as the basis for engagement with federal agencies in land use
planning and general negotiations, and you are invited to join us! Participants
will learn sound principles for local government acting as gatekeeper for local
economies, agriculture, business, industry, and property interests.

WOTUS. The Clean Water Act itself makes it expressly clear that states are supposed to play a
leading role when it comes to water policy. The WOTUS rule ignores this. Both
the federal government and states are supposed to work together to make this
happen. States are in a far better position to address the unique environmental
needs of their waters than the federal government.

In
Bears Ears National Monument, “the BLM already has a tight enough hold when it
comes to range improvements, according to Justin Ivins, whose family has been
ranching in the area since the 1930s. The Ivins’ ranch currently runs 600 head of
Angus-Gelbvieh cattle on BLM permits now included in the new monument.
“I mean we can’t do
anything to improve the land, to develop water or to develop grass,” Ivins
says. “We have a hard time doing it.” Ivins has witnessed what has happened in
the 20 years on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. He is hoping
things will be different for his side of the state. “There are already too many restrictions;
that’s what scares me,” Ivins says. “They tell me otherwise, but I have seen it
in other monuments that it’s a lie.”
A recent survey confirms the fact that an overwhelming percentage of locals
and Native tribes residing in San Juan County want Bears
Ears rescinded, and outspoken and well-funded environmentalist
special interests, including Dine Bikeyah, are terrified that their
pet project could soon be history. As a result, it appears that the racism
within the Bears Ears environmentalist community is surfacing.
