Steve Pierce

Matt Witt -    The U.S. Senate last week confirmed Steve Pearce to be in charge of the federal agency that oversees many special ecological places that have been designated as national monuments. Pearce made millions from the oil and gas industry, and while a member of Congress he co-authored a letter calling for elimination or drastic reductions of many of the monuments he will now oversee, including the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.
