Letter to the Editor—Clearing up misconceptions: Dashelle Holliday
“Several high-profile cases of misconduct have
come to light in recent years, ranging from sexual harassment within the ranks
of the National Park Service to the brazen abuse of authority by BLM Special
Agent Dan Love. A pattern has emerged demonstrating a reluctance by senior
department officials to discipline and hold federal employees accountable for
their wrongdoing. I’m encouraged to see the department beginning
to open its eyes to reports of misconduct and impose real consequences on those
found responsible.”

Five Myths about Bears Ears Gov. Gary Herbert
““Indian tribes should have the
same opportunities to develop their natural resources as any other sovereign
nation,” said Hoeven. “For years, Washington’s overregulation has hurt tribal
energy development and stymied economic growth in Indian Country. This
commonsense bill will cut red tape and provide tribes with greater flexibility
to develop energy resources to best meet the needs of their local communities.”
“But
whether Obama or Trump has the final say over these monuments, their opinions
are not as important as those of the
people directly affected, who ought to be brokering final settlements. They
will feel empowered only when Utah becomes exempt from the Antiquities Act.”
“Armies of dedicated
people—from massive agricultural conglomerates and equipment manufacturers to
individual farmers and ranchers on multiple continents—are working diligently
to make sure every man, woman and child has enough to eat and drink. . . .True
environmentalists must climb down from their ivory towers, put on their grownup
boots and walk the land with today’s devoted conservationists—farmers,
ranchers, miners, energy professionals, and water experts. Committed, resolute
people like Bill Minor. Mother Earth will be saved by intelligent partnerships,
not mindless lawsuits and feel-good ideology.”
