The president told Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Friday that he will reduce the 1.35-million-acre protected area in southwest Utah that is prized by many tribal leaders but opposed by several state and federal Republican officials. The site is one of several monuments that could be reduced, based on recommendations this summer by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Zinke said the boundaries of Bears Ears should be pared back and that Congress should make less-restrictive designations within it. |
