That’s wonderful Woody.
A map just weeks ago was distributed showing 15M acres in Colorado alone that would have been eligible to be sold.
That was the original Senate proposal.
The fact that people from every facet expressed outrage at the prospect and got it yanked is absolutely mfing wonderful.
Please don’t paint this as overreaction. It most certainly was not.
Furthermore, this person tries to divide communities fighting this and misrepresents in the effort to do so. For example, claiming 700,000 acres were “sold” for solar. First, they were leased and just to be clear, 32M acres of BLM land is leased right now for oil and gas. He/She is setting up battle lines.

Did Ben Burr at BRC say anything about being a related party in his press release supporting Mike Lee selling this land?
The Blue Ribbon Coalition, executive director Ben Burr said.
Burr, who organized the convoy on the Poison Spring Loop, used to be an aide to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and is a relative by marriage.

Last month, Lee introduced a now-removed amendment to Trump’s policy megabill that mandated the sale of up to 3 million acres. It did little to address the challenges of building affordable housing on public land.

The active part of the plan is to log the profitable parts. Not the ones that need it. Nancy and I ran a chipper 3 days last week on our little slice of mountains (which is similar to all the forest that needs thinning). Chipping. Not producing firewood. Or timber on my sawmill. Chipping. Because the work the forests need isn't logging, it's forest health. Working towards forest health MAY involve logging, but it also may not. That's the problem with this idea--it is biased towards logging for profit as the goal. When all you've got is a hammer.....
