On Wednesday, May 14, the Montana legislature’s Environmental Quality Council and the legislature’s Federal Lands Study Group will hear from a number of Western states that are actively pursuing corrections in federal land management and efforts to bring about the transfer of millions of acres of federally controlled “public lands” to the states.
Montana State Senator Jennifer Fielder, who chairs her state's Federal Lands Study Group, penned an Op-Ed on the Transfer of Public Lands (http://www.jenniferfielder.us/page.php?t=Status_Updates)that briefly explains the issues involved and the economic, environmental, and liberty benefits that would accrue to Montanans by assuming control over lands now controlled by federal agencies.
As The New American has reported, Sen. Fielder was one of the organizers of the Legislative Summit on the Transfer for Public Lands held in Salt Lake City on April 18 and attended by more than 50 legislators, county commissioners, and other leaders of the 12 Western states most affected by the federal government’s enormous footprint and economic dominance.
