senate 07/29/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to allow the Secretary of the Interior to extend certain long-term leases within National Parks without reopening them for bidding, as long as current leaseholders have complied with their terms and extensions serve the best interests of park management. This aims to provide stability and efficiency in managing park resources.

Skipping bids on public land leases? Sounds like handing out the keys to the highest bidder behind closed doors.
