Sell ANWR first.

“And how would the State’s an counties afford that? It’s not like any state has millions kicking around.”

The way I imagine it would be the Secretary of the Interior sells the land to the State or County for like $ 5,000 or $ 10,000 per acre, and then the State or County could turn around and sell land that they want to sell for like $40,000 per acre. That would win approval.

But if they don’t have the money, then it could just be sold to private buyers.
