Keep your federal crap out of my state. I don't want the fed in my home or my state.
Its NOT your land, its our land. Didn`t hear you crying when you recieved our $$ for your schools.
Then you should be happy. The Feds are SELLING the land, which they should not own in the first place, and are getting out.
BTW, one reason they are selling it is that the people who are unhappy with the sales, have stopped the owners (Feds) from using the land for its intended purposes, but want them to retain ownership without benefit.
One of those benefits was production of income to pay the local governments, especially school districts, 'in lieu of fees' to make up for the land NOT being on the tax roles.
Were you happy when Clinton took the opposite tack, and declared unprecidented amounts of such lands "wilderness areas' and 'National Monumnets', both keeping it off the tax roles forever, AND removing it from grazing, mining, logging, etc?
