I enjoy and respect the great outdoors with pristine lands as much as anyone, but the issue here is Jewell pining over land that was mostly stolen from the people by 'executive order'.

Sure, the Dept of Inferior/BLM refers to it as National Park lands, but most of the millions upon millions of acres are off limits to the people of the land, and guarded by state goons with guns and no brains.

Jewell seems to be playing the same ploy used by many hucksters to get money for nothing.

"Oh my! All the National Park Lands are in jeopardy if the BLM isn't funded to the hilt"!

My humble opinion is that Jewell should go home and get a job in the private sector - and become a producer as opposed to a parasite whining about lands her dept stole in the first place.

Since the days of Teddy Roosevelt, millions upon millions of acres have been "declared" - read stolen - 'federal land' and made either unavailable of off limits to the people of the usa.

The practice has continued with every DC Corporate parasite administration since.

: WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally
: Jewell issued the following statement after Congress
: allowed the Land and Water Conservation Fund to expire last
: night at midnight, which has put in jeopardy a critical
: tool that has been incredibly effective at funding more
: than 40,000 local conservation and recreation projects
: nationwide: “After 50 years of resounding success in
: enriching America’s great outdoors, the Land and Water
: Conservation Fund needlessly faces an uncertain future. I
: am extremely disappointed that, despite overwhelming
: bipartisan support, Congress has allowed this innovative
: and effective program to expire. As a result, America's
: national parks are now at a higher risk of private
: development within their borders, we will have fewer tools
: to protect access to hunting and fishing spots, and local
: parks and open space projects in all 50 states may face
: delays or cancellation in the year ahead.

: “I join mayors, governors, and Americans across the country in
: urging Congress to reauthorize and fully fund the Land and
: Water Conservation Fund in order to honor our nation’s
: outdoor heritage and provide resources to local communities
: who want to invest in conservation, historic preservation
: and recreation opportunities. Future generations deserve
: nothing less.”
