Given this administration’s obsession with development and disposal of public lands, it seems clear that this comment period is really just a ploy to weaken protections for public lands,
To put a mine where we went this week just seems insane to me. It would put at risk one of the last great wilderness areas in North America — not just the Boundary Waters, but the Boundary Waters, Quetico and Voyageurs.
When a President uses the power of his office to benefit himself and his wealthy friends while working families are left to foot the bill, that’s corruption — plain and simple.
These roadless areas are irreplaceable, and the Roadless Rule is what protects them. Americans have been clear – repeatedly and across party lines – that we don’t want President Trump screwing with our public lands.
