According to a report
in a Montana newspaper, a Montana congressman has helped kill
legislation that would have sold off 300,000 acres of federal land to
pay for a rural schools program. That's welcome news for those
interested in keeping public lands owned by the public.
For background on the proposed sell-off of BLM, U.S. Forest Service, and other federal lands read this previous blog post.
In other news, 8th district representative Dave Reichert has secured money in the federal budget for a small but necessary expansion of Mount Rainier National Park in the Carbon River area.
