…John Leshy, a #PublicLands expert who served in the #Interior Dept during the Carter & Clinton admins noted that the state was the only leaseholder left in the #refuge. The #Biden admin could have standing to cancel those leases if it found that #environmental reviews & other compliance measures on the leases had been inadequate.
(Under Trump? Ya think? His EPA at the time was run by Scott Pruitt, a #ClimateChange denier!)
