For far too long presidents have been abusing the Antiquities Act to bypass congress and lock up millions of acres of public land. Below we review BlueRibbon Coalition’s efforts to stop the abuse & how national monument designations adversely affect recreation.
Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area should be a place where adventure thrives — not a shadow of the world-class destination it once was. Over the past several years, critical recreation infrastructure at Lake Powell has been neglected. Fuel docks...
