Senate bill 47 passes

[BillyBoB]

My Instagram feed was blowing up from hunters asking to pass this bill
Your thoughts?
Passed 92-8
Noticed Sen Mike Lee was one of the 8 to vote nay.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-14-19 AT 09:31AM (MST)[p]Isn't this a catch all bill that cleans up a bunch of boundary, land transfer and conservation issues?

If anyone in the Utah delegation opposes it, then that means it is generally something to support as a public land hunter or user. Mike Lee hates anything which may increase access and more public use of public lands.

We need more protections but given the current senate and whitehouse this is about the best we can hope for.

I think as far as bills that come out of (any) congress go, this one was actually pretty good.

Permanent authorization of Land and Water Conservation Fund is the biggest win. Now the house needs to act on it and then LWCF needs to be funded. It's not over til over.

You can read the text of the Bill. WAFJ. Like we're going to do that. I did notice a bunch of forest service land sales. Who would vote for that?
