Well, I got you really stretching to answer that one.

Looks like the lawmakers out there are getting more involved.

I don't see that happening. Dirty Harry Reid and his beloved son have too many shady land deals in the making and fortunes to be made.

I see these efforts as a way to look good for the cameras, and maybe if they are successful, line their own pockets....
As bad a job as the federal government does as steward of our public lands, I still would be uncomfortable giving federal property to the states. Corruption and graft are much easier to pull off at the state level.

If the states wish to manage the lands and reap the benefit of utilizing the land under the umbrella of federal oversight.... I think that might be a good solution. Certainly in many (or most) cases the land and the people would be better served to have more localized and informed management, as long as there are safeguards to prevent Joe The Governor from pocketing a few mil by putting a toxic waste dump somewhere.

Utah's stance that the feds must cede ownership of the land is BS, and will be a detriment to developing useful dialog on the subject.
I hope that the parties involved can keep the rhetoric to a minimum and make a sincere effort to find a workable solution which will benefit the lands and all the people who use them.

Not a stretch at all, an easy comparison. Same with OWS, your new straw man. Why not stick to the facts relative to THIS issue?

This is strongly related. It goes to the bias toward different groups and individuals. OSW and Sharpton get better treatment because of their views being sympathetic to the administration and press.
