Governor Gordon Testifies on Capitol Hill, Calls Proposed Conservation Rule ‘Boneheaded’

Governor Mark Gordon testified on Capitol Hill Thursday during a House Committee on Natural Resources  hearing regarding the Bureau of Land Management’s Conservation and Landscape Health proposed rule and in favor of a bill to withdraw that rule. Gordon said the proposed rule oversteps the federal agency’s authority while undermining the important role that states play in developing management plans for public lands.

The BLM has extended the public comment period on the proposed rule by 15 days. Information on the proposed rule as well as how to submit a comment can be found here.
