Public Land Sale Senate Budget Reconciliation

[baldopepper]

Mike Lee and his cohorts in Utah for years have been trying to do this. He's pushing hard right now because the political climate is favorable with slim majorities in the house and senate leading to lots of deal making. He is not to be trusted and I'm sure any changes he might make will be cosmetic lip service.  Can't let up the pressure until this is totally dropped from the bill.

Senate parliamentarian killed the public land sale. Apparently it can't be included in a reconciliation bill, which is massive and makes it much harder to ever pass a bill allowing the sales.

Mike Lee isn't taking the hint. He's just going to try and revise it to pass muster but still establish precedent to sidestep the existing process to divest public lands.
