But Jr is a hunter!
Senator Fielder may well be spinning yarns, but I don't think it's far from the truth.
The positions taken by this administration fit well within the boundaries of what groups like the ALC and SFW are actually advocating for. Yes, SFW & Don Peay are closet proponents of Transfer, as this article spells out pretty well: https://www.theguardian.com/environ...mormons-national-parks-trump?CMP=share_btn_fb
The dog whistle of deregulation also means less public involvement in land management decisions. The administraton's rush to appease one sector of the populace rather than engage meaningfully in real dialog are harbingers of what kind of control they seek the pass on to local county commissioners and other politicians, just as the elimination of RAC's (or the severe curtailment as some have been restored) is meant to silence those who worked collaboratively on solutions that don't benefit the donor class, but rather all Americans.
Right now, the BLM is engaging in revisions to management plans that would severely weaken habitat maintenance and improvement, eliminate the regulatory authority of the federal gov't to demand mitigation for development and remove the wildlife protective layers that were put in place to protect sagebrush habitats.
Their ultimate goal isn't local control - it's just control.

Sounds like Sen. Fielder can't wait to tell the public "We had to. The courts said we had to."

Fielder is batchit crazy, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is all bluster. That said, nothing the President has said in the past is indicative what he will support in the future. We need to keep PLT a career-killing issue to support. Just look at Matt "this is how I look from a Gubmint drone" Rosendale, even he has abandoned his support of PLT in the name of prudence.
Damn... Survey says? Must have been a Freudian slip as we all know Ben is a, "moderate".
My bad. My retraction: "Trump haters!" Or... "Anti Trumpers!"
Rosendale's position is only shifted in name only. His resistance to good projects on the Land Board and his past record as a legislator indicate he is not supportive of conservation, nor is he supportive of government entities owning land. In 16 years of doing this work, the basic truth that remains is to judge a politician by their record, not their rhetoric.
Fielder is who she is, the more damning bit of evidence is the Guardian article about Peay, who is one of the most influential advisors to Zinke & Trump when it comes to public lands and wildlife.
When you look at who is actually writing the playbook for this administration, it's the A-list of anti-public hunting, anti-public land special interest groups like the Heritage Foundation, ALEC, ALC, SFW, etc.

Yes she is and we need to get her voted out! She comes from a part of Montana where there are some strange folks just like her.

The more "they" say they have support for PLT the more I contact my elected officials! The only way we'll keep out lands is to keep speaking out. That is what they are doing.
