Dun is trading 41,000 acres of State owned land for almost twice as much Federal BLM land.
The truble is Trump's order is slowing things down, but that there is a good idea, if New Mexico can incease its land holdings legaly by swaping land in this way why not double down and do 2 to 3 times more land? It wont take too many more swaps before new mexico owns most of its own land again.
Area 51 —FINE.
I don’t understand why the Feds need something like 85% of Nevada.
Just “CUZ”...?
It’s ridiculous.
May be wrong here, but the value of the land the Feds wanted, may have bee the reason for the concession of more acreage.
