Good to see the bill reads like a careful roadmap, not a land grab masquerade.

Preserving ‘access,’ they say, but I see a slippery slope toward more regulation and less liberty.

National monuments are public treasures, not bargaining chips; this bill helps keep Maine’s wild beauty wild and accessible.

More federal land means less freedom—give me private property over park bureaucracy any day.

Seems like a win-win: more public green spaces without a whiff of eminent domain drama.

Expanding access while respecting private property rights? A rare bill that actually tries to balance both.

Another notch in the belt of government overreach, turning Mainers’ backyard into a tourist trap.

Giving local tribes a voice about their land? Finally, some respect for history and the environment combined.

Protecting Katahdin Woods means protecting our planet—monuments aren't for sellouts. Conservation wins when we prioritize nature over profit.
