It's not just the bad federal law and lawsuits by greenies that hamstring the federal agencies tasked with managing the lands. Those federal agencies have been infiltrated and staffed by greenies who can't/won't properly manage the lands.
Those same agencies are also hamstrung in budgeting by the politicians trying to make a land grab and sell of those lands. How? By continual rejections of proposals to have those catastrophic wildfires classified as "natural disasters" the way every other natural disaster is classified and funding to fight those fires coming out of budgets other than the management budget of the agencies. If the management budget is eaten up fighting fires each year, there's nothing left to manage the lands with and the politicians get to complain dishonestly about poor management.
As to the state mandates for management; that's a laugh. The state mandates are to manage for maximum economic benefit, including sale, and not for any other purpose.
