On Monday, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and the other members of Utahâs congressional delegation sent a letter to President Joe Biden regarding the boundaries of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments.
âWe call upon you, and your administration, to support and engage in finding a long-term legislative solution and stop the vacillation of national monument boundaries in Utah,â the letter reads. âWe remain prepared to work in good faith and hope you do as well.â
In their letter, the Utah representatives asked the Biden administration for their assistance in finding a permanent legislative solution to these boundary disputes and statutory protections to prevent abuses of the Antiquities Act.
So Sen. Mike Lee and other Utah politicians now complain about the proposal of the new administration to restore Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument to its pre-Trump extent, stating that the monument shouldn’t be used as a “political football.” Of course, these are the same fellows who praised Trump’s gutting of the monument in 2017 as the act of a hero and statesman!
Eleven of Utah s highest-ranking leaders sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking to be included in discussions over the fate of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante.
