I'd guess that there are a number of BLM employees with strong contact/interaction (just like the IRS, Cummings & (slow) Learner).
I was never too much of a conspiracy theorist, but now have to rethink my position.
The Clark County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) has "resulted in the removal of 700,000 acres of habitat from cattle grazing."
The County Commissioners "support the development of a Reserve System, consisting of lands currently managed by the BLM, to be transferred to the Permittees [City Managers and others from Las Vegas, Boulder City, Mesquite, and Henderson] for the purposes of long-term conservation of species and mitigation of impacts in the developing areas of Clark County, thereby providing greater control over conservation efforts and maximizing the efficiency of the MSHCP."
See the Community Advisory Committee recommendations report and the Board of County Commissioners' Resolution accepting the report.
