“The Trump administration is proposing to dispose of federal land in Utah that was protected within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument until its boundary was redrawn by the Interior Department earlier this year — despite Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s assurance last year that he would not sell public lands,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Zinke at his Senate confirmation hearing: “I am absolutely against transfer or sale of public land.”
Update: The Washington Post report Zinke backed off the plan.
