Selling off public forests for free? That’s privatization disguised as charity.

Finally, less Washington holding onto land it doesn’t manage well—local stewardship works better.

Good to see land used for public purposes, but let’s watch closely if that promise holds up.

This bill turns our shared wilderness into someone else’s playground—next up, fenced-off exclusivity.

Federal hands out, city boots on the ground. That’s how you get more from less government.

Free land transfer? Sounds like smart government cutting red tape and trusting communities.

left-leaning 09/18/2025

Handing over public land without a price tag? Our forests shouldn’t be giveaways to local cronies.

Federal land to city hands isn't simple; transparency and accountability are the real wildcards here.
