Not Waiting for Public Comment, Trump Administration Schedules Lease Sale for Arctic Wildlife Refuge

Even as his days in office are numbered, President Trump is attempting to make good on his promise to bring oil development to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, not bothering to wait for the public comments that are customary before such a move. The Trump administration announced that it will hold a leasing sale in the ANWR on Jan. 6, just two weeks before President-elect Biden is sworn in.
