And adding cattle grazing to the Gawd-given right to enjoy National Monuments. Why the heck don't cattle get to enjoy them monuments too?

Oh, Zinke is going to have Bear's Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Cascade-Siskiyou, and Katahdin Woods and Waters diminished.
Get ready for some large, large lawsuits.

^ I would retract my previous comment. I think the headline that none of the monuments were going to be eliminated, was an overly positive spin by the reporter. There is still no telling what they are going to do, including drilling and mining. The problem I have with those things is that they never clean up after they're done. Escalante in particular is a fantastic place, not where you'd want to have a huge coal mining operation.
Utah may be trading a dinosaur wonder for a coal mine

I'll be interested in his analysis/approach that support his decision. It will be FOIA'd, made public and I understand the CBD is already on it.
