I have been a strong supporter of creating a national monument on this special and unique land, as are the vast majority of people in the region and throughout the state. Studies have shown a national monument would bring economic growth not only to the region, but the entire state. And this proposal also preserves traditional recreation uses like hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling. I hope the President uses his authority to make this land a national monument. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
