“Washington D.C. — A coalition of advocates and environmentalists demanded the removal or immediate step-down, of Acting Bureau of Land Management Director (BLM) William Perry Pendley. In a letter sent Dec. 30, 2019 to the Interior Department, representatives from conservation groups, sportsmen and religious organizations — 91 in all — called for Pendley to be dismissed.
The coalition, representing some 3.9 million Americans, claim Pendley has too many conflicts of interest relating to his former affiliation with the Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), a conservative Colorado-based group that advocates the selling off of federal land in the West.”
