Top: “In the long run it’s a good thing. My grand kids can have a good place to go that’s not completely ravaged. I know the arguments about having the government come in, but this is a beautiful area and the government has to take everyone’s needs into consideration and make it a multi-use area. I think it’s a good thing, I want to see my grandkids playing in this area.”

Middle: “I’m for it. Just make the land available to the public. Don’t make it available for drilling, there’s enough drilling out here.”

Bottom: “I’m totally against it if they’re going to lock the land up. I want multiple use. This is a pretty country and it should be available for everyone to see it, but don’t lock it up. Develop all of the oils, gas, and minerals but do it in a responsible way so we can still get multiple use out of it.”
