Yes, I think BLM is the default owner for all Fed land, until it is “promoted” to National Monument, National Forest, or National Park, at which point it moves from the BLM to the Foreset Service or the Park Service.
Back to the rural Oregon problem. It is, now, just a fact that this money has stopped. And for a whole variety of reasons most of it is not coming back. That is the timber industry isn’t going to get reinvigorated. So, the Counties and the State do need to figure out how to pay for things.
In Oregon all money flows to Portland. Portland has *four* different public transport systems (multiple new street car lines, an ever growing light rail system, a new $100 million dollar tram and a extensive bus system). So there is plenty of money there, it’s just a question of who is going to get it.
Sadly the Portland pols are so corrupt and obsessed that it seems likely they will continue to work with the Portland (& I-5) dominated legislature and Portland oriented Gov. to do what Portland wants and let the country take the hindmost.
