Republicans on public lands
Think Progress - Angered by the
Obama administration’s work to protect the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge from oil drilling, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
said that administration “is willing to negotiate with Iran,
but they won’t negotiate with Alaska.”
... According
to the Salt Lake Tribune: Rep. Ken Ivory, R-West Jordan,
said he was told by a terrorism expert that forests are now a
terrorist target and argued that the fire risk would be reduced
if they were managed by the states instead of the federal government....
Rep. Don Young (R-AK)... “mocked” 78 members
of Congress who asked the Secretary of the Interior to protect
gray wolves. Young — who has long fought protections for
land and wildlife — claimed that their districts would benefit
from releasing wolves in urban areas because “you wouldn’t
have a homeless problem anymore.”
