Secretary Ryan Zinke's Whirlwind Visit to Utah

While San Juan County is still waiting for the final decision regarding Bears Ears, perhaps it would be good to ponder the journey of the past year, and especially the effort Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke made to talk to those who will be most directly impacted by any decisions regarding Bears Ears. 

Secretary Zinke traveled to Utah in early May for a four-day listening tour.  He met with community members, stakeholders, and representatives of federal, state, local and tribal governments, regarding an executive order to review some large national monuments designated under the Antiquities Act.

His efforts were significantly different from the environmentally manipulated visit from Secretary Sally Jewell a year ago.
