From what I am seeing, we should make it priority to defund and disband the Park Service. And Forestry. And BLM.

Return the land to the states.

For those who live east of the Mississippi, there are vast portions of western states which are controlled by the Feds.

NO taxes are paid from these lands, either. Nevada land mass is 87% controlled by the Feds. Utah is about 82% the same. IF you take time to look at really detailed maps, you will see that millions of acres of forests, desert, and canyons are controlled by the Feds. Where I live, the BLM controls wide areas of desert and they can shut it down if they can find enough persons to enforce the shutdown.

Millions of acres are leased to ranchers for grazing, and they can cause havoc with that, also.

Utah is trying to get back their Fed controlled land, but the guy leading that push isn’t getting much support.

Maybe this weeks actions by rangers will change that.

Exactly. Plus lands seized by eminent domain to their original owners.
