Iowa had nearly a $3.7 billion budget surplus ending fy 23. So Iowa supporting the transfer of Federal public land so they can better support themselves financially is a horrible argument and Iowa has very little Federal public land to sell so that support would not get them far.If selling off some of these lands in Western states leads to those states being able to better support themselves financially, perhaps it is worth a closer look. I suspect that may be part of the “why” for states like Iowa to support something like this.
