Trump has a point. I don’t think he is for the Feds taking more land, but States, Counties, and Cities have proven time and again that when they run into a revenue problem they will go for anything. Take a drive down I-65 from Northern Indiana to Indianapolis and you will drive through 20 miles of giant windmills from every direction as far as the eye can see. Why did this happen? Because a county allowed it to, so that the county could get additional revenues. The land looks ridiculous, and what is going to happen to the thousands of windmills once they get worn out in 40 years?
A lot of the BS about federal land is people looking to see the land handed over to their interests to make a buck over it and to screw over the vast majority of people. Again, I maybe bias because I am from back east (as was Teddy) but that is my view and I am pretty sure it is the overwhelming mainstream view. He just took an issue away from Hillary.
There is an unfortunate echo effect on some issues in forums.
Trump is right. There is no more of a critic of how the feds manage the land in Nevada the me. The state does not have the resources to take on managing the land. It will be sold off and turned into private hunting areas locking most recreational use out. What should happen is that the Feds should roll back rules and regulations to about 1980.
Oh and PILT goes away leaving counties in a financial bind.
I suspect Trump thinks the only Federal lanfs are the National Parks. Unaware of the liberal land grab to prevent drilling?
If he is up on the issue, it bodes ill

You read way too much into Trump.
Your reaction is emotional, in the same way that Obama was elected. This is only the flip side of it and just as wrong.
“We removed your post because it’s an internet hoax that’s been spread via email, various comments sections and blogs beginning sometime last year”
I did note that it might not be Bennett.
Even if it’s not, the content deserves to stand on its own.
The only problem with that map is the EPA thinks they own all of it.
I like this guy less and less every time he opens his mouth.
You sound desperate.
There is nothing more vulgar than a pissant that won't stop soiling its pants when it's been shown to be FOS.
What an idiot. Completely clueless.
Rolling my eyes. How naïve can you be?
Probably deed it to the Indians and let hem build casinos or something.....
YES!! Thank you.
Well said.
I can’t argue with his logic. State and local politicians are probably a little easier to bribe.
When Loop 610 was built around Houston Hofheinz was judge. A man owned land on the west side and he wanted his land to be on both sides of the freeway. Since he gave a lot of money to Hofheinz the route was moved and went through the middle of the donor’s land. That also left only enough room for one lane to connect 610 with US 59 in both directions. And it’s a nightmare.
The dead birds from these will never make it to the MSM. One dead seagull from an oil spill however will be on the front page of every single paper.
This has been a raging issue with the West for decades and has nothing to do with National Parks. The issue is how they are managed and the federal government has mismanaged the land for decades. There have been tons of articles about this issue for decades. This issue has been on the cover of Time and numerous other publications. And I live in the East.
Please research and get back to me. Thank you.
I live in Oregon. The last thing I want is this communist government in charge of anything.
