Nevada Governor and BLM Sign Agreement to Release Federal Lands for Development
Theyre literally calling it a disposal of public lands as if shared wilderness, sacred ground, and national inheritance are garbage to be cleared and sold.
Snip
The Great Nevada Land Raid Is Underway
So, the governor stood at a podium without blinking and in full cahoots with the very folks who are supposed to stand in his way stated his intent plainly:
Im pleased to announce the States joint agreement with the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada today. This agreement will improve our ability to share critical data about public lands in Nevada and help inform future housing and economic development in our communities.
Data means maps. Maps mean parcels. Parcels mean profit.

The "Call to Action: Copy This Letter and Send It to Congress" at the end of the article makes it easy to take action.

state assets were sold off to oiligarchs for pennies on the dollar. We should expect the same with US assets.

He unwittingly made the deal with Black Lives Matter and not the Bureau of Land Management.
