"GOP Chairman Seeks $50M To Transfer Federal Land" [1]
"The chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee is asking budget writers to set aside $50 million to account for the costs to transfer federal land to state or local governments.
Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah) put the request on a wish list sent Friday to the House Budget Committee.
In his request, Bishop argued that “poorly managed federal lands create a burden for surrounding states and communities.”"
