Local Americans shouldn't be the ONLY voice in how federal land is managed.but they should have enough say to prevent a change in management or designation from being forced their throats (usually by a bill started by a congressman/woman who doesn't live in the West, let alone their state.or by a bureaucrat in the BLM who is from the East coast), which will hurt their quality of life, affect their jobs, and in some cases irreparably harm their communities. It's really best the land stay in Federal control.but there needs to be some new laws placed which will prevent the federal government (and even worse unelected federal bureaucrats in the BLM and Forest Service) from making massive and sweeping designation changes to the federal land against the will of the local Americans (Like I mentioned earlier, the wilderness, antiquities, and equal access to justice acts all need to me us other restrictions).īasically, I feel that the Americans who live next to, work next to, and in many cases the survival of their entire communities are dependent on, federal land.should have the MOST say in how its managed.

I do.and even if they aren't.what happens when some day there is a democrat governor and democrat legislature.who are anti-off road activities?
