Why would I be? I haven't said I was against any type of parkland. Tho the locals in Utah certainly have objections to a couple of the recent NM. My only objection to to the park formation situation is that I do not think the President should be able to seize vast tracts of land by fiat. I think that power should be returned to the congress.

I think many of us don't think that the NPS does a good job of managing the parklands it controls tho.

He just changed the status of already Federal Lands.
While I won't be traveling to those most likely, others will and hopefully their kids and grand kids and many generations to follow.
Herein the East we now have dearth of open accessable lands or public lands.
Friends in the Legislature always wanted to increase the tax base, and never to increase or preserve existing outdoor opportunities.
We lost 30,000 acres for a bargain of 3,000.00 in the Eighties because
Governor didn't want it off the tax rolls even though the taxes at that time on that type of land was miniscule. A Developer and a Timber company wanted access to it. In the end the kids sold it off in pieces for less and everyone is locked out.
In Utah, Nevada, and the other states they want the land for their associates and contributors, such as the piece China wants to buy for uranium mining, and those with range permits and some private lands within resisted and well....
This is not partisan politics or politics this is about why our land is wanted to be converted to others pockets.
