Thanks for posting the articles. They help validate my point.

Montana citizens stepped up to the plate and forced the state to come to real terms with the state constitution, not their interpretation of it. And they did it without help from the feds or out of state entities.
The same thing happens at the fed. level' albeit at a much slower pace and exponential increase in costs.

From my post above:

"..citizens at the state level are responsible for the gov. they put in power. If you don't like the way your state runs your trust lands, then make the change, just like we do at the national level. Fed lands are leased for cattle, mining etc as well, and the FS, BLM et al can and do put controls and closures on fed land just like states do on "their" land."

State citizens are responsible for determining what form of "concent" they choose to give to those who govern them. They/we can be taken advantage of at all levels of government.

If fed public lands were transferred to the states, the people of those states have the power to make sure those lands are kept in the hands of the public. They don't need fed oversight to make it work, they just need to be good citizens, whether BHA is involved or not.
