This is my biggest concern.The best thing we can do is vote the politicians who are wanting to sell OUR public lands out of office. The ones with the "R" next to their names have been pushing for public lands to be transferred to the states for decades. This would have resulted in the same thing since the states would sell the land for $$ to the highest bidder.
This latest thing was just trying the same thing in a different form. Except that the majority of the $$ would have gone to the orange menace.
I do believe the land is supposed to be in stste hands, vs federal.
However, i also know, the second it hits state hands, the various legislatures will find a away to get it sold for various pet projects, depending on the political leaning of the specific legislature at the time.
