Look like the bill that sought to sell off 3.3 million acres has been axed as a result of all our complaining and letters.
Does not mean we are in the clear, but this poorly conceived bill met harsh resistance from the public and the bill is being pulled.
I have no doubt that there are some public lands that should be sold/transferred due to access issues etc.
I personally attacked this bill only because the land proposed was based on DATA from 1997 and in 20 years a lot of priorities and ownership has occurred. I however did research a few small pieces locally, and all were of no significant value to the public.
