Sell the whole state.

< /sarcasm>

In California, environmentalists and politicians decried the plan, saying the state can't afford to lose more public land, particularly in crowded metropolitan areas such as the Riverside-San Bernardino area and the Central Coast.

California is a big state. It's overcrowded in some areas because they aren't using enough land.

The feds have no business in states' land issues.

The members of these 'environmental groups' should be arrested for their acts of treason against the citizens of the U.S. (their policies hurt the economies and wallets of U.S. citizens) and they would be put on chain-gangs whose jobs are to cut down these forests.

"California's remaining wildlands are diminishing at a rapid rate, and we need, at the very least, to keep what we have, not to sell them off to the highest bidder," she said in a statement

I completely agree.

Since 1990, the agency has added about 2 million new acres of land...

Now, nationwide, they might sell 10 percent of that 2,000,000 acres.

Money that would go to rural schools.

Most of the land is not easily accessable by the public...surrounded on three sides by private land, etc.

As a native of northern California and a hunter, occasional fisherman and camper, I disagree with selling any national forest area.

I wish and propose that the government would manage the forests, lands and habitat. Cattle run in the Sierras and are the cause of the death of thousands of deer from antrax!

Read it again! You wont hear about it in the NYTime or Sacramento Bee of SJMurkyNews, but there it is! Deer killed by the thousands from antrax acquired from cattle!

Forests are burned each year that could be harvested as a cash crop! This would add $$ to the Federal and State coffers. But no, Feinstein and Boxer wont support forest management.

So let's do it right! This is PUBLIC LAND! It should remain that way!

[Porterville]

STAY OUT OF OUR STATE!!!

keep your lands east of Nevada and north of Oregon. Leave us alone to work out our own issues. Don't touch our agriculture and keep away from our forest.

We won't touch or even think of your lands... because basically to us, you are irrelevant.

That's only a little over $1B. The Wilsonegger gang has over $2B left over from Prop57/58.

California should buy the land from the feds. Everyone wins.

The bond money doesn't end up down the State Department of Education rat hole educating Mexico's poor or into the black hole of the State Department of Corrections wasted on $200K/year salaries guarding Mexico's felons. The feds pumps 25% of the bond money into rural areas to offset the damage from the Greens and California sportsmen still have wide open spaces to hunt and fish.

A win-win deal.

[OKIEDOC]

LOL

Bush has turned the tables on these idiot environmentalists.

Whats the use of having land if you can't cut some of the trees to keep the forests from burning .

Another words the environmentalists will soon see the apartment complex with out the trees.
