~Be sure to read Jim Stiles newest issue of the Canyon Zephyr. Especially the Bears Ears Alternative Solution

Western Republicans hope Trump will revoke some monuments created under previous presidents, but would also like to pass legislation altering the Antiquities Act, the 1906 law that allows the president to protect large swaths of land without Congress’s consent.

~DOI ends coal moratorium  Zinke steps up to the plate for oil and gas development. by Marjorie Haun
“Department of Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, former U.S. Representative from Montana, has made it clear that he intends to implement President Trump’s America-first energy plan. Leaving environmentalists howling–and likely gearing-up for an avalanche of lawsuits–Zinke is moving swiftly in both word and deed to make Interior the Department of Energy Independence.”

n  Extreme Green lawsuits delay BLM Payments to N. Mexico   New Mexico’s efforts to end its current fiscal year in the black are being complicated by a $69.9 million payment from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management that is delayed by protests of lease agreements.

n  Enviromental Tyranny caused by abuse of “Equal Access to Justice Act.”   By Marjorie Haun The Sue and Settle green machine game: …over a decade, eight environmental groups filed more than 3,300 cases in federal district courts across the country. In the last two years of the Bush Administration, seven groups filed 253 lawsuits; in the first two years of the Obama Administration, those groups filed 525 lawsuits…It is not only the sum; also outrageous is the hourly rate granted to environmental group attorneys. Instead of the statutory hourly ($125), these lawyers averaged $491; the highest rate awarded was $775!”
