A new report analyzing the financial ramifications of a takeover of some of Nevada’s millions of acres of federal lands suggests the state would benefit from such a transfer.
A transfer of 4 million acres of U.S. Bureau Land Management land could bring in anywhere from $31 million to $114 million a year, based on a review of four Western states that have significant amounts of trust lands under their control, the report says.

I would think Nevada would benefit from Fish $ Game enforcement over this vast area. I mean...if I stalked a desert tortuise to within two feet with a scoped rifle and shot it with a high powered rifle...some fines should apply then, no? Ok, that happens never -but it doesn’t mean it won’t. Mybe we need drones...? Yes, tortuises are cold blooded...no heat signature, but if they move thier little feet fast enough -friction!
See, you to could be a grant getter, what is this heat genoratored by the feet of a fleeting tortuise? Are they even feet? Only science can answer!
Give me 4 million acres, and I would benefit too.
Obama and Reid need all that federal land to back up all the debt they are creating. Reid needs to have the BLM under his control so he and Rory can amass a fortune to rival the Koch brothers.
I personally think that states should lay claim to ALL BLM land. It could be sold and/or mined, used for grazing, oil and gas exploration, etc. etc. and the revenue split with the Feds.
The long run fallout FRom the Bundy ranch standoff could have some very positive outcomes for the states in question and the USA.
It is a huge long shot, but Federal land ownership, apart FRom the National Parks, requisite government buildings, etc., etc. and military reservations has got to be done away with.
Absolutely!
Just think of today’s Federal Gov as an affirmative action jobs program for liberals, gays, feminazis, blacks, and so on..... Especially true in the DC Region. Less so in say....Montana
