Designate all you want, but don’t expect me to cheer when my weekend fishing gets tangled in bureaucratic nets.

Turning lakeshore into a national park? Finally, Mother Nature gets the VIP treatment she deserves.

I appreciate the recognition of tribal rights here—rare bipartisan respect worth noting.
