The Trump administration is launching its four-month review of 27 large national monuments designated since 1996 under the Antiquities Act, including two controversial monuments in Utah.
That review formally kicks off this weekend with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's arrival in Utah to investigate Bears Ears National Monument, designated by President Barack Obama just a few weeks before he left office, and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
At the urging of Utah's political leaders, President Donald Trump ordered the review April 26, when he called out Bears Ears as a "land grab" that should not have happened.

Ping...
The larger review should be about what land the Federal government should own in the entire West.
Zinke is no friend of turning over that land to the States who should own it. Rescinding monument status is just the first step to the ultimate goal: give the land back to the citizenry and the States.
And when they are done with the review, 57% of the State of Utah will still be owned by the FERAL Government.
Sect. Zinke is meeting with the Tribes today, going on horse back through that area...
I don’t believe anything until I hear it from the person’s mouth, so we will see what they do with returning the land back to the people...
IIRC, the Escalante land grab was to lock up the U.S.’s supply of low-sulfur coal, as a favor to the Clintons’ Indonesian friends, the Riyadis.
The reason I posted this is the beauty of the land, I have been there, and it is breath taking...I was born and raised in Utah and have traveled this State a lot...before moving to the East Coast...
The Tribal people are so kind and helpful when you go on a tour of the lands, and the Park Rangers are very knowledgeable of what they tell you...
Utah is one beautiful State and I urge everyone to stop by and see how beautiful it is...
I don't need the ‘out pouring’ of the negative people...
Ryan knows how to ride a horse?!
That’s not what my people in Bozeman said...!
:^)
A few of those areas could be protected, such as the glyphs and archeological areas, but both need to be shrunk. Then onto every other land grab since Klinton. I do not remember who was the worst, in last 25 years, but I seem to remember Klinton grabbing a lot of land.
That’s all true, but people in Kanab and Southern Utah in general have lived in genteel poverty for decades now when reasonable development could have happened.
Recall that Robert Redford (”Bobby Bluenose”) was hung in effigy in Kanab back in 1975 for his opposition to the Kaiparowits plant. People there (including Navajos) saw it as a reasonable job generator; it would have had state of the art scrubbers for reduced pollution.
There’s no reason sensible use of the land can’t include protection for real scenic beauty and artifacts along with managed development.
What is the truth of the so-called Indian Unamimnity?
Doesn’t this relate more to INDIA than the American Indian Tribes???
Lots of folks in Montana can ride horses.
Even Lil Ol’ Me here in Bozeman.
What makes you think RZ can’t ride?
Utah Navajo Voice Opposition to Monument Designation... Aneth Chapter opposing the designation.
The Navajo Nation Aneth chapter, one of the chapters closest to the monument, rejected the proposal. Many Native Americans have stood up against this designation from the beginning. They have already lived through too many broken government promises and witnessed the results.

Yeah, Bobby said that ‘cuz it makes him sound cool for being down with the Natives.
Which is all his “environmentalism” amounts to: Fashion statements.
The Sundance festival has done more to destroy the Wasatch then any of us could have fathomed 30 years ago. It brought the megabucks of L.A. to Northern Utah to buy monster homes in the mountains previously off limits (but $$$ overcame that) and now places like Guardsmans Pass, Midway and the entire Heber Valley are overpriced and overdeveloped, to say nothing of a Park City which is now Beverly Hills North.
I think the Navajos would love to have some decent jobs. American Indians - oh, sorry, “Native Americans” - are the real forgotten people in the rush to replace the American population with Mexican stoop labor. The power plants and the mines have had problems, but it means they don’t have to depend on federal allowances to buy new Ford trucks in Flagstaff.
Resolutions from the Blue Mountain Dine’ and the Aneth Chapter of the Navajo Nation in opposition to the new National Monument as proposed by the Diné Bikéyah 12-tribe council. – A petition from the Descendants of Kaayelii in opposition to the Monument.. –
Resolutions from the cities of Blanding, Monticello (the San Juan County seat) Utah and the San Juan County Board of Commissioners and Utah’s state legislature, all opposing the designation of the Bears Ears National Monument.

You ever seen him ride?!
My buddy just left the SEALS and he can ride a horse.
Zinke, the first SEAL ever elected to Congress, likely has skills above your capabilities.
Do horses scare you?
Thank you for that information...
We were up in arms over O doing that, and glad that President Trump is looking into it, and not just what has happened recently, but further back...
That area of Utah is poor, but you have to either have National Monuments or you have to have jobs...in these two cases, I think you could have both...both areas are big enough to preserve what the beauty is and to make the economy grow in that area of Southern Utah...
