~~ Bear Essentials ~ June 17, 2017 ~~



Rebecca Benally is adamantly opposed to the monument and said it's "insulting" that out-of-state tribes and special interests are politicizing Native American heritage to push a monument locals don't want. “My constituents are Utah Navajos who have historically been forgotten or bullied by both the federal government and their own tribe. Now so-called environmentalists and their corporate benefactors are adding their own chapter to this sad story, using a few members of our community who are desperate for a paycheck to advance the agenda of outside interests."

Issues Impacting San Juan County Utah
n  Thank you all who attended the White Mesa Mill hearing this week, especially those who spoke and helped publicize it.  Public comment on the White Mesa Mill will be accepted through July 31.  Mail to dwmrcpublic@utah.gov

n  For the most part all comments pro and con were civilly presented and received.  There were a few exceptions.  This article on Commonsensorship has lots of good advice on how to disagree.


n  US Withdrawal from Paris Accord Beneficial for Colorado  Congress never authorized the $3 billion Obama committed to the “Green Climate Fund,” nor the regulatory scheme he considered as strong as a treaty, nor any other part of the Paris deal. Obama never even asked. He knew Congress would not sacrifice our economy for a political agenda, especially for no environmental gain. Researchers at MIT say if every nation met its Paris commitments, global temperature increases might drop 0.2 degrees by the end of the century.”
