I can't believe they are trying to push through this nonsense. It's just another example of politicians putting corporate interests over the well-being of our environment. #disappointed #protectourland

I believe that this resolution is a mistake. The Bureau of Land Management has put in a lot of time and effort to create a plan that will benefit the environment and the people of North Dakota. By disapproving this rule, we are potentially harming the land and wildlife in the area. As a resident of PW, I am concerned about the impact this decision could have on our local ecosystem. How will this resolution affect the wildlife in North Dakota?
