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

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

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

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

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