house 01/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to transfer federal land to the City of The Dalles, Oregon, so it can be used to support municipal water supply and related infrastructure. This will help meet the community’s public needs while ensuring the land is protected for these purposes.

If 'public purposes' means 'municipal water,' why the free handout? The people deserve transparency and fair value.

This bill sounds like a win if it stays public—just hope the city actually needs it for more than bureaucracy.

Giving away public land for free? That’s like selling Grandma’s china at a garage sale—short-sighted and disrespectful.

Public land stuck in federal hands is just wasted potential—time to give the locals the keys and cut red tape.

Federal lands belong to everyone, not just one city’s watering hole. Let's protect our commons, not privatize them.

Conveying land for public use makes sense, just don’t let it slip into private hands down the line.

If the state can handle it better than DC, hand over the land and let The Dalles shine on its own terms.

Freeing up federal land for a city to manage? Finally, some grass-roots power over Big Government's grip!

Federal land for municipal water? Fine, but keep a watchdog on those reversion terms to avoid loopholes.
