Senate Republicans have introduced a proposal in a major spending bill that could result in the sale of more than 3 million acres of public land, including U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management territories. This controversial move is seen as part of a broader GOP initiative to privatize federal lands. Critics argue that the bill's vague language could lead to vast land sales, primarily affecting Western states, and prioritize the interests of the wealthy over conservation.
"This Senate version is just open season on public lands."
"It's a travesty that Senate Republicans are putting more than 3 million acres of our beloved public lands on the chopping block to sell at fire-sale prices to build mega mansions for the ultrarich."
