ICYMI: President Obama was asked by a local congresswoman to exercise his executive powers to declare 600,000 acres of the San Gabriel Mountains a national monument, a unilateral action that would bypass Congressional approval. Out of frustration for the slow pace of her bill, Rep. Judy Chu, D-Pasadena announced Monday that she has had discussions with the White House to act alone and do essentially what her bill proposes — add more federal resources to the heavily-used Angeles and San Bernardino national forests for better recreation, trail upkeep and trash removal. Do you support making the San Gabriel Mountains a national monument?
