Neal McAliley Quoted in Bloomberg: “Trump Wants to Give States Some US Parks. States Say ‘No Thanks’”
Neal McAliley was quoted in Bloomberg, in an article titled “Trump Wants to Give States Some US Parks.

Florida’s Big Cypress National Preserve is one of those sites, which also includes national monuments, historical parks, battlefields, and protected areas. According to McAliley, transferring the preserve to the state would open a host of legal questions, including how the federal government’s duty of trust to area tribes would be handled, whether proposed wilderness areas in Big Cypress would be respected, and whether the land would be given or sold to the state.
