Someone’s been caught one-handed…
It would make more sense to reorganize public lands into areas of exploitable resources and then put the titans of the extractive industries, logging, and commercial fishing in charge of their areas of expertise. Much more efficient and profitable.
If the Democrats gain control of the House, Zinke will opt to spend more time with his family, rather than have to respond to Congressional oversight.
Shred, burn, smash hard drives and memory sticks asap!
Jack Mioff?
Well if it’s done honestly, scientifically and with proper oversight, managing lands according to watersheds instead of arbitrary boundaries is a much more intelligent approach, and something a normal administration might do to supportable ends. But you can count on these clowns to subvert any public purpose and instead come up with another way to give our land to the greed-heads without any accountability.
Let me guess… the new regional boundaries will look much like the Koch Industries organization chart.
Yep, this is one of those things that is probably a good idea in general and should have been done long ago, but under this administration is almost certainly being done with an agenda to fuck things up.
The new unified boundaries are based on rivers and ecosystems rather than state borders.
I can see boundaries set by a watershed, but not by a river.
If a river, would that mean a different regional control for each side of the river?
Right, ecological area distinctions are largely defined by watersheds. Respecting a watershed boundary is the exact opposite of using a river as a boundary
