Wyoming’s legislature has been a goat f*ck this session. I’m not sure if they are trying to catch up to MT and UT or what, but it seems like every other day they kick out a doozie!

In the committee meeting last week they kept talking about what sounded like a new designation called "Wyoming Public Lands." None of the legislators explained what that actually meant, just that they would be better managing them than the feds.

 

[Rogerdoger]

“Wyoming Public Lands” sounds like a Nick name for “billionaire private land”

It's not legislation. It's a resolution, which means it counts for about as much as T P.

I don't live in the west but after having gone elk hunting this past year in Colorado, I would love to move that way one day if the stars align but I don't understand why these states are all about trying to take over the land, of course I know to make money, privatize it, build houses and businesses etc but don't we have enough cities that have too many people in them already. It amazes me at how much the world revolves around the dollar and how little the majority of people care about natural resources like wild game, the land that has been wild since it was created, so on and so forth. I guess peoples priorities change to think about nothing but themselves and not the big picture. What happens when there are a few trillion people living on the planet and there isn't anymore fresh water because we polluted it all and fresh food to eat. I guess we will just grow everything in a lab somewhere. They already don't pay farmers what they deserve in return for the work we do anyways. Not trying to vent but it amazes me at how single minded and blind people are.

Curious the purpose of a resolution if it doesn't hold any authority? Is it more to make a recorded declaration/statement?

The article relays the following;
"Places that the state would manage if the intent of the resolution is successful include Grand Teton National Park, the Wyoming Range, Johnny Behind the Rocks and Medicine Bow Peak area."

"...if the intent of the resolution... Is this referencing, in a very general form, if the resolution stepped into the legislative action or is there another level of "resolution" that holds authority beyond t.p.?

Pandering to your base or donors mostly.

What are they referencing the resolution "intent" that could lead to the State managing, say, GTNP? That's a huge leap to take over DOI, NP, no?

Performative nonsense is all it is, grandstanding if you will.

Opens the door and gives sportsmen/conservationists a peek at who they are...or who they take direction from. Useful come voting time. And...as we are seeing nationally...crazy views and Uber wealthy influence can lead to really bad decisions...

This frustrates me to no end, I've written our county reps and senators and our state rep and senators, governor. Only Hageman and Gordon have chosen to respond with a canned response from one of their interns. Their logic is the state can manage the lands better than the feds. They refuse to hear any comments related to the amount of state land that has already been sold off or how the State could manage this much land as one bad fire season last year already bankrupted our fire fighting fund.

 

[Treeshark]

Yikes. Sounds like Wyoming needs a bigger fire fighting fund.

Sounds like they cant even manage the land they already control.

This does begin to answer some questions about how these lands would be classified, state public lands, rather than state trust land. Possibly solves that real head scratcher of how will people camp in Wyo after a transfer. Also begins to address how it will be paid for. Performative for sure but a more refined performance than prior ones.
