The Trump administration plans to announce that he will shrink the monument by between 77 and 92 percent, according to statements from the office of Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah. It would be the largest reduction of a national monument to date, and it comes as the administration pushes for fewer restrictions and more development on public lands.

Not sure how he's going to shrink bears' ears. Maybe wet them and use a hair drier.

Just so long as he doesn't shrink bears' arms. I have the right to those.

We could greatly reduce the national debt through private sale to US interests of lands needlessly owned by the government.

NO!

The Bears Ears are a pair of mesas located in San Juan County in southeastern Utah, United States. They are protected as part of and the namesake of the Bears Ears National Monument, managed by the Bureau of Land Management and United States Forest Service.

I hope this is a new trend. It makes no sense for 30% of a free country to be controlled by one little town in Maryland.
