The scaled back national monument issue was a win. It was happening no matter what even if the courts did it. Some ranching friends of mine are poised to be very rich from oil leases released by the Trump admin. I call that a big win for the people of Nevada. As long as you take the all or nothing perspective you will be disappointed.
Once again this is about ,gov being out of control. MLK was killed by a nut job. LaVoy was killed by out of control LEO'S at a illegal roadblock. There is no comparison.
Zinke refused to meet the Bundy family when he visited Nevada and instead was talking to the anti-Bundy environmentalists who drove all of the Bundy’s neighbors out of business.
His decision to keep part of Obama’s national monument project at Gold Butte is flat out wrong and looks like a sop to the leftist environmentalists who have been among the enemies of the Bundy’s over the years.
