Trump shrinks two nat'l monuments covering more than 3.6 million acres in Utah protected by Democratic presidents
2017-10-28
[DailyMail] That which was created by a presidential executive order can be destroyed by another one, as President Trump's list of such things gets ever longer.
  • Utah Senator Orrin Hatch said that Trump called him Friday to approve shrinking two national monuments protected by Democratic presidents

  • Trump will follow Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's recommendation to reduce the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments

  • Conservation groups and tribes have vowed to file lawsuits if Trump attempts to rescind or reduce the monument designations

Under the proviso that Hatch would retire this year.

#2  Land that long ago should have reverted to a sovereign state. Strange isn't it how land east of the Mississippi didn't remain in federal hands to the amount that remains west of the Mississippi.

Yeesh. You'd think they were entitlements.
