[QUOTE="gst, post: 86984, member: 373"] Tim, I guess I maybe should have made myself clearer, I was not specifically referring to these lands but Federal Lands in general. States all the west are dealing with many land usage restrictions by the Federal govt agencies that are in essence answerable to no one. I know far less about this particular situation than you and value your insights. But I will tell you this and I assume you have figured it out, having coffee and chit chatting after church is only the beginning. People have to show up at the legislature to follow up. They have to become involved. [B] How many will take two days off from work to go watch the Viking or Twins lose but will not take a day off from work to go testify on a legislative issue that is important to them? Contrary to what people think, when you are sitting behind them after testifying they know you are engaged and are watching them when the time comes. [/B] for those that think keeping these lands under Federal control will keep them from being sold, take the time to learn what is going on. They are being sold, access is being limited, they are being terribly ,mismanaged as only the Federal govt can do. There are options states can engage in when gaining these lands back from the Feds that will keep some if not most or all of them open to the public. To me, it would depend upon what percentage of a state is public lands and how they are being allowed to be managed that is the factors needing to be considered. for those buying into the "farmer/rancher controls the state legislature remember this, politicians are elected by votes. There are more votes in Fargo and Grand Forks than all the farmer/rancher votes combined in the state. So who here truly has the influence? [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Tim, once again as per the last comment in green you posted, this lack of accountability and inability to change things at the Federal level that is seen in that statement once again lends support for more state control versus Federal. here in our District we have a long time Democrat Senator. On occassion I have had opportunities to engage him in issues and he has supported positions that his constituents present even when it has gone against the state Democratic leaderships views. For some reason that has been much harder to the point it has never happened with our newly elected Federal Democratic Senator. [/QUOTE]
