PING!
So, how much money will be spent to implement and sustain this. Smells like pork to me.
Like the Federal Gummit needs more land. They already own 50% of the West.
Oh, joy. Another gratuitous federal land grab. Something America wants as much as a 70% income tax rate.
What America needs is a sunset provision on individual federal lands, so unless congress reauthorizes them every decade, individually, no bundling, they will *automatically* revert to state control.
And it will require a 2/3rds majority to overturn the sunset provision.
My analysis is that the pork distribution was bi-partisan.
No matter how much the most conservative congress critter screams about ideological purity, bring home some goodies for the voters once in a while is part of the game.
Civil War heroes? Must be Yanks right.
No individuals named—but my guess is that they all are cites of union victories.
One of them, is described as follows: “Mill Springs Battlefield in Kentucky, home to the decisive first Union victory in the Civil War.”
DECISIVE?????????????????????????????????????????
Resume padding 150 years after the fact.
More control by the feds.
I feel dirty.
“House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raúl M Grijalva (D-Ariz.)”
That’s disgusting. A Mexican Supremacist in charge of American public lands.
Louie Grijalva’s parents tripped over the border in the 1940s. He and his family have NOTHING to do with the U.S. except their bottomless hate for the nation and its people. He spent decades in Tucson ripping the school system apart to benefit ONE group: his fellow Mexicans.
Beyond despicable.
PING!
How things are done nowadays: it passed, so now we can see what’s in it. 662 pages.
Another Federal land grab.
how much will this cost? Didn’t see a price tag in the article.
Probably 100k down on the list of things Congress needs to fix.
More Kabuki Theater from the Uniparty Clowns
Adds 1.3 million acres of new wilderness, expands several national parks and ... uses federal royalties from offshore oil and gas drilling .. The fund is authorized to collect $900 million a year ... permanently reauthorize the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund,
The largest public lands bill considered by Congress in a decade, combines more than 100 separate bills that designate more than 350 miles of river as wild and scenic, add 2,600 miles of new federal trails and create nearly 700,000 acres of new recreation and conservation areas.
The bill also withdraws 370,000 acres in Montana and Washington state from mineral development.

“The 662-page measure”
plus 4 pages of demonic laughter.
I love history and am in favor of hoarding sites, but after reading the comments, the tree huggers (I do love trees, too, but also love wood furniture and small log cabins) noted that:
“The catch is that the bill from the link above hands over 2.9 million acres of wildlife habitat to big oil for fracking in the same states where they just “protected” 1.3 million acres.”
If Mike Lee opposed it and Romney was for it, I would have to dig more about the long term motives of the deep state.
