Senate vote public lands sale

[ckleeves]

I’m actually all about selling off some public land BUT each parcel would need a deep review by all users. Hunters, anglers, off roaders, hikers, grazing etc and then once a parcel was deemed “in the clear” it’s sold and the money goes directly into a fund to purchase parcels that benefit said user groups and/or provide access into landlocked parcels of public lands.

There are parcels out there that don’t really provide much benefit to “the public” and there are parcels out there that would unlock large tracts of more desirable public lands if purchased/traded.

It would be a slow process and take years to do and would never happen because the government really never accomplishes anything but if we really need to build some section 8 housing on garbage land as long as equal acreage is purchased to unlock or expand other public land I’m ok with it.

Same concept. The state needs to get off it’s ass and start paying landowners for either crossing and or hunting.

With what money? Magic

It won’t get 60 votes.

I’m well aware it was rejected as written

From the article “Republicans can still retool the provisions in an attempt to address the conflicts and resubmit them for review.”

The revised text was attached to my previous post.

If you’re done calling, that’s fine. It’s not over till it’s over.

It’s not going to get past procedural rules.

The hearing protection act did which is great news.

Not going to argue with you. Unless you have a source in the US senate, I’ll believe it when I see it. This has been a long held goal of Lee’s.

The parliamentarians decision is not binding and can be overridden.

Newest amendments are disposal of 2 million acres. Here is a link to contact your senators and tell them you value public lands.

The Senate Is Considering Selling Public Land. It Could Be About 2 Million Acres

The Senate is working towards a proposal to sell what's potentially a 2-million acre fire-sale of federal public land.

NOT ONE ACRE! Call you reps and senators!!!

Sounds like this is dead.

Sounds like this is dead.

I don’t believe it is. The original version is but I believe Lee revised and resubmitted. Or he is planning on revamping it. Not sure which it is.

Newest version is BLM only. Within 5 miles of a population center (undefined) as of yet.

A fraction of the proceeds goes for BLM enhancement. A fraction goes to BLM deferred maintenance (which had been underfunded by Congress).

Regarding the “within 5 miles of population center” the language in the bill is pretty sneaky. Lower in the document it states to sell off .25% to .5% of BLM land which totals 245 million acres according to BLM’s website. In the section that states the percentage this and the former version of the bill states nothing about the land “within 5 miles” or “the eligible land”. Based on that it seems the land total being proposed for sale is still 1.25 million acres.


Regarding the second point, if the the proceeds were used for removing wild (feral) horses and burros totally or even minimally to the AMLs in the wild horse and burro act, I’d have to seriously consider it. But that’s never going to happen.

That’s fair. But some issues are way bigger than others and will affect generation upon generation.

That same reason is being used to justify his idea. The deficit is the number one issue for some. That's why this is not dead until Lee is replaced

Senate switchboard

I called my senators (again); Senator Lee is not going to quit—we need to be as persistent

 

[Trumpkin The Dwarf]

I called my senators and emailed them today.

 

[TheCougar]

I called both my senators and left voicemails. Then I called back and pestered their staffers.

 

[Ten Bears]

every time I see Mike Lee's face I can't help to think he was cast to play the role of sniveling, conniving politician. very punchable face on that one....

 

[elkhunter505]

Called and emailed today! Keep it up everyone!

 

[Gila]

Two senators and the rep…just in case

Five miles from a population base. Really?
Five miles from Dubois , WY is prime big game hunting.
Five miles from Logan, Ogden, Park City, Utah is in prime elk, mule deer , and moose populations
Same for mountain town areas in Colorado, etc. etc.
Slime ball Lee has his sights on these areas to do under the the table deals for his and his cronies benefits.
I have seen this happen in my career and 99.90% of the general population has no clue what goes on behind the scenes with Mike Lee types and their super rich influencers.
Mike Lee is all about greed and corruption. He has got to be exposed for who he is.

GOP scraps plan to sell more than 3,200 square miles of federal lands from bill

A plan to sell more than 3,200 square miles of federal lands has been ruled out of Republicans' big tax and spending cut bill.
