The craziness in Cheyenne is ramping up again.
Yesterday was a blur with phone calls and emails to deal with these 2 bills.
The two bills in question on the public lands transfer, HB126 and HB142, are being dealt with in the most ferocious manner I've ever seen from the conservation community.
I received action alerts from 7 different sources yesterday and apparently the message in Cheyenne is being heard loud and clear...public lands need to stay in public hands.
I have NEVER seen this level of action taken so swiftly on this issue in Wyoming with such broad support across the Conservation/hunting/angling community...have to say, it makes me happy.
If anyone is so inclined, keep the pressure on.
Wyoming BHA Members -
We need your help ASAP to help stop two public land seizure bills from being introduced in the Wyoming legislature tomorrow. Please take a minute to call your legislator at (307) 777-7852 and urge them to vote "no" on HB 126 and HB 142.
House Bill 126 would waste $100,000 taxpayer dollars on yet another state study of the management of your public lands. Rather than creating real solutions, this bill would unconstitutionally assert state land commission authority over federal land management decisions, all under the guise of improving public access.
House Bill 142 blatantly opens the door for a large-scale public land sell-off and/or transfer, leading to a loss of public hunting, fishing and recreation opportunity for all. This bill is unconstitutional and would be devastating for the American sportsman.
Please call your elected officials today at (307) 777-7852.
Thank you for taking action on this important issue.
