Saying that “selling national parks was never on the table,” Utah Senator Mike Lee is no longer proposing a change to federal legislation that drew heavy criticism from conservation groups, Colorado Newsline reported.
Lee, a Republican, had proposed removing part of a spending bill requiring that national park lands be maintained as federal land.
The Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks shot back, saying the move could “green-light the selling off, transferring and giving away of national parks.”
