It looks like Trump's Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is proposing downsizing and reducing restrictions including allowing ranching and logging in:
Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante in Utah
Cascade-Siskiyou in Oregon
Gold Butte in Nevada
Katahdin in Maine
Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks and Rio Grande Del Norte in New Mexico
Allowing commercial fishing in:
Northeast Canyons and Seamount off the Massachusetts coast and
Rose Atoll and the Pacific Remote Islands
If these states don't care what Trump is doing to them, so be it but every day Trump continues to try to wreck this country. Will national parks be next? A government funded Trump hotel in Yellowstone?
So what? Bears Ears was just named a National Monument, against the will of the people of Utah by an executive order by Obama on his way out the door. Better to let the people of Utah decide these things.

Which people of Utah? The ones who were originally there, or the ones who took it from them? Or the ones who now want to turn it into oil fields?
How about the ones that live there NOW? Those people. No one alive took anything from anyone and those that did do some taking took LAND that belonged to no one.
Who cares which people? Natives don't have more rights than everyone else. Plus, you have no idea who was there originally. Everyone, including the so-called natives, came from somewhere else. In modern day Utah, a small group of natives wanted it done, so Obama bypassed the people of Utah & did it as a lame duck President.

Why should the people of Utah and not the people of America decide what should be done with Federal lands?
