Yet another bill proposed to transfer public land to private entities. Please contact your political representatives concerning this legislation and let them know how you feel about this proposed legislation.
"Proposals introduced by Rep. Mark Amodei and Sen. Jeff Flake would seize and sell public lands, despite the fact that such schemes remain unpopular.
In the halls of Congress, the public land takeover fringe persists—no matter how many people soundly reject its core goals. Nevada Rep. Mark Amodei and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake are the latest lawmakers to introduce new bills that further this radical cause, seemingly heedless of whether the American people support it.
Amodei's bill, the innocently named Small Tracts Conveyance Act, would give some national forest and Bureau of Land Management lands away to private landowners and state governments who own neighboring land. It is very common for public land to border private land; this proposal could tear a huge amount of public land out of America's hands in one fell swoop.
Sen. Flake's legislation—the specifics of which have not yet been released--would push the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to sell off at least 6,000 acres of public land in northwestern Arizona."
