Provision to sell federal public lands pulled from Senate’s reconciliation bill
Published: , in Outdoor News
Outdoor organizations on Saturday were celebrating what they called a major victory for hunters and anglers after Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) pulled his proposal from the Senate’s budget reconciliation bill that would have sold millions of acres of public land.
The original proposal announced in mid-June would have mandated the sale of as much as 3 million acres of federal lands in 11 western states under the pretense of helping to balance the federal budget and providing more affordable housing.
