The Arizona Senate is inching closer to a lawsuit with the federal government after a national monument was declared in northern Arizona last month to limit mining in the area. President Joe Biden visited the state in August to speak about the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, which is nearly 1 million acres. However, some Republicans have considered the move to be unconstitutional. 'Using the guise of creating a ‘Grand Canyon' national monument in a remote area that is not even connected to the Grand Canyon is completely disingenuous,' Senate President Warren Petersen said in a statement Monday.
