Lawmakers from Western states said Friday that the time has come for them to take control of federal lands within their borders and suggested the standoff this month between a Nevada rancher and the federal government was a problem waiting to happen.

"The lawmakers -- more than 50 of them from nine Western states -- made their proclamations at the Legislative Summit on the Transfer for Public Lands, in Utah, which was scheduled before this month’s standoff between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management."
 
I have no problem with the states controlling the BLM land,BUT some of the states would turn it into condos,or whatever would produce revenue.Just like the constant selling of our national forests.I see private homes,more and more, in N.Ga,on what was once national forest land.
