The proposed tax-cut package from House Republicans includes a controversial provision to authorize the sale of hundreds of thousands of acres of public land in Nevada and Utah. This would open up vast swaths of currently protected federal land to potential commercial development and privatization. While proponents argue this could generate revenue, it poses a serious threat to preserving these natural areas for public use and environmental conservation. Public lands belong to all Americans and should be safeguarded, not auctioned off. I urge you to remove this provision from the tax legislation and protect our shared public lands for current and future generations to enjoy responsibly. These lands are a precious national resource that must be prioritized over short-term profits.
