Transfer of Public Lands Act’ demands Washington relinquish 31.2 million acres by Dec. 31. In three weeks, Utah intends to seize control of 31.2 million acres of its own land now under the control of the federal government. At least, that’s the plan.

And how much are they going to pay the federal government for it?

Why should the fed be paid for land the fed has no right to own in the first place?

Zip zero nada. It is Utah land that should have been turned over shortly after statehood and the enabling act. There are about fourteen other western states that have the same problem and it is hurting their economies.

Arguably the Federal government obligated itself to turn over that land in the Federal law known as the Utah Enabling Act.

Well, how much did the federal octopus pay Utah, or any other state for that matter???

I would hope that they don't pay any more than Missouri paid the federal government for their land.
