just read this about land transfers . Trump’s position has varied over the last eight months.
In January, he told a hunting magazine, whose readers rely on the public grounds for sport, “I don’t like the idea because I want to keep the lands great, and you don’t know what the state is going to do.” He told a Las Vegas audience the following month: “It’s not a subject I know anything about.”
Then in May, his chief policy adviser, Sam Clovis, told the Associated Press that Trump would like to see a change in policy giving states and local governments more influence over how the land was managed. A “shared governance structure,” Clovis added, would allow for development around certain cities in the west and provide companies with better access to minerals.
Trump called on Congress to get “on board.” The candidate’s comments have been widely interpreted as an endorsement of eventually weakening, if not eliminating, federal controls over those lands.
