Ted Cruz campaigned in Idaho yesterday and this is what he said about federal land in the West.
_______________________________
I am in favor of the States getting control of land except:
1. The states will divvy the land up among each states “favorite sons”. How will he deal with that?
2. Can the land be sold to foreign countries like Reid was doing in Nevada?
3. I can tell you who will benefit in Utah. We have State Trust land in Utah now and good luck trying to keep it honest.
4. What safeguards to protect the states from corrupt influence?
5. Who will protect the Federal lands from one of Ted Cruz’s largest donors? $15 Million from the Wilks family
The Bureau of Land Management won’t move forward with a controversial and high-profile land exchange in Montana proposed by the Wilks Ranch, which would have given the BLM permanent public access to land in the Missouri River Breaks but taken away public land in central Montana.
Donating to the Cruz campaign is not a charitable, selfless cause.
Too bad Teddy has not presented legislation to do what he talks about. It would be so much more credible. :-)
