Another red tape park—because what we really need is more government babysitting untouched land.

Great for tourism, but let's make sure the hunting and fishing rules don’t start a turf war on the water.

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.

Apostle Islands: where preserving history and protecting the planet go hand in hand—like they always should.

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

Tribal rights respected? Fine. But don’t let that become a backdoor for more land grabs and lost freedoms.

Upgrading to a national park sounds nice, as long as it doesn’t squeeze out the locals who call those shores home.
