Public Land Sale Senate Budget Reconciliation
baldopepper:
Guess you have to also consider what is affordable housing. To a billionaire 500 acres with a multimillon home on it is affordable housing. Obviously an extreme example, but to many smaller rural communities 100 acres of previously public land subdivided into quarter acre lots with homes in the half million dollar range is not affordable housing. Scenic acreage subdivided and sold for vacation second homes is not what most of us consider affordable homes either. I can assure you this is the type of affordable housing Lee and his cohorts invision. Just picture a couple "affordable" housing subdivisions around Twisp, or Kettle Falls, or White Pass. Just get that land turned over to local control so it's much easier to manipulate restrictions is what these crooks want. Hunting/Fishing and other outdoor recreation control are only minor parts of what these guys want, but if they can figure a way to make money doing it they will.

Emails sent to Senators. Glad to see this picking up the attention and support of big names in the outdoor/hunting industry.

This is in the hands of Murray and Cantwell. Not your local rep.

After a quick Google search, looks like Murry and Cantwell have both come out in opposition to selling off public lands.

FWIW - This is a Grok Deep Search generated review of the primary pros and cons of the proposal.
