Holy shit: Are we supposed to fight or passively let Revelation unfold?

Utah is very conservative Republican. They want to make use of the land.

At the other end of the spectrum is Minnesota. Democrat to the core. They created the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Counsel. A percentage of sales tax goes to non-profits to help purchase land and flip it to the Minnesota DNR.

Look at all the piggies at the trough:

I am pretty sure the "pigs at the trough" will be filled with a variety of people/entities that will want to turn this public land into private property if this lawsuit passes.

Personally, if I was one of the ranchers that leased many of these acres at pennies on the dollar for pasture, I'd be pissed as all hell.

Greed
Unappropriated is a joke. The United States acquired this land and gave away millions of acres to farmers, ranchers, a n d the state when they became a state. The states blew it all, selling their state owned public land for the money. Now they run low so the want America's public land to sell. Ranchers may pay more in taxes (if they have property tax) than they now pay in rental. However they can post it and lease to outfitters and keep you out. Greed. They want what's theirs, and they want what's yours.

Those are my initial thoughts as well. Im all for states rights and states having more control but anytime we see something like this it’s for the benefit of a few…..

Utah has shown a propensity to sell land for their gain. This isn’t good for anyone who enjoys the use of public lands.

The elk hunting is too good and there's not enough luxury condos and homes. Better sell it off and give the politician's friends the bids to build.
