Bottom line: Between 1890-1987, the Idaho Land Board has made more than 300 land deals that apparently violate the state's constitutional limits on individuals and companies stockpiling state land. When Idaho received federal land at statehood, Idahoans know the land barons would love to get their hands on it, so they capped how much acreage individuals and companies could amass. But no one was watching the hen house when the foxes snuck in...

Care to draw any conclusions relevant to our current debate over public lands?
