"Using it [Congressional Review Act]...to discard the product of years of planning, consultation, compromise and public engagement is not democratic repair. It is a way of nullifying the process after the fact." -Erik Stanfield on Grand Staircase-Escalante

Voices: GOP leaders say local interests were ignored in the Grand Staircase-Escalante planning process. That’s not what I saw.
“This is bigger than one monument plan,” writes Erik Stanfield in an op-ed. “Democratic erosion rarely begins with the dramatic abolition of public process.”
