The Idaho Freedom Foundation is encouraged that President Donald Trump has signaled a willingness to review and reverse some of the more onerous federal land management policies of the Obama administration. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke is reviewing both Obama's last-minute Antiquities Act land-grab and the unworkable and restrictive Sage Grouse Management Plan.
