Do not award a lucrative concessions contract for Glacier National Park to billionaire Phil Anschutz while he is threatening the future of the park with his fracking on abutting land.
Why is this important?
Xanterra Parks and Resorts Inc. is bidding to operate all concessions in Glacier National Park for 16 years.
They are owned by one of the wealthiest billionaires in the nation, Philip Frederick Anschutz.
His Anschutz Exploration Corp. is currently drilling exploratory wells to frack the Blackfeet Reservation immediately east of Glacier National Park.
Fracking is one of the greatest threats facing Glacier National Park.
It is unconscionable that the National Park Service would give such a coveted contract Phil Anschutz.
