“A busy start to the new year awaits the Bureau of Land Management’s acting director.
William Perry Pendley plans to be in Grand Junction on Thursday as staff begin operating out of the agency’s new national headquarters office in Grand Junction.
Meanwhile, his future status as the head of the agency should be known by Friday because his current appointment by Interior Secretary David Bernhardt as the agency’s acting director expires then.
On Monday, 91 conservation, sportsmen and faith-based groups, including some local organizations, wrote to Bernhardt to ask that Pendley resign or be removed from his position.”
