New Mexico could get new national monument

While some part of me is excited about the would-be monument west of Las Cruces in the Robledo Mountains, another part of me has several issues.

First, is it going to remain a BLM-run national monument? Well, that’s not necessarily for the best.

Will it be a National Park Service national monument? That’s not for the best until NPS gets a major budget boost — and a permanent one, not a temporary one for the Park Service centennial.
