That is the occupation of over seven hundred million acres of land in twelve western States by the Federal government. Seven hundred million acres of land amounts to half of the land west of the Rocky Mountains. That is 25% of all the land in the whole country… and all of this land was confiscated from just twelve States. They were the last twelve States to join the Union beginning with California in 1850 and ending with Alaska in 1959 (not counting Hawaii). These are America’s western States which lie beyond the Rocky Mountains.

In my city, Driggs, ID, the city council recently voted against a measure that would return BLM land to State control. Why? The council feared that if Idaho owned the land, the State would sell it to private interests to generate revenue, thereby ruining the land for recreation. Idaho does have that reputation. Since most businesses in the area depend on tourists that come here to fish, hike, ski, snowmobile, etc. they felt the land would be better protected for public use in BLM hands than in Idaho's hands.
