This idea is what makes my mostly opposed to any selling off. Any time money changes hands with government deals, there is a high chance of corruption.


Hypothetical timeline if lands are sold:

Fed sells a few couple acres to the state for an extremely low price. State says great now we have "resources". Ideas by state politicians get kicked around as to what to do with the land. This goes on for several years until the state is in a money crunch and decides to sell it back to "citizens". Joe billionaire says shite yeah, I could use another half a million acres. Investment group from god knows where buys the other 1.5mill.


Leave lands the way they are. Those lands have been in those states for longer than vast majority of the citizens. If they haven't figured out how to deal with their state being Mostly public land then should've moved east long time ago.
