While I don't have a problem with phase 1 as most of those BLM parcels appear scattered and isolated, I definitely have a problem with phase 2. There are over 80 acres of BLM that border Highway 16 which allows access to a full 640 acre state section which would be gone, and the private land...
I guess he's all for private property rights unless they sell to Uncle Sam. Don't forget that this created over 75,000 acres of contiguous public lands.
