The proposed provision to sell public lands is deeply concerning as these lands belong to all Americans and should be preserved for public use and environmental conservation. Selling off millions of acres, including treasured areas for hiking, wildlife habitats, and recreation, solely to fund tax breaks for the wealthy is misguided. These public lands provide immense value through ecosystem services, outdoor recreation opportunities, and preserving our natural heritage. While the proposed changes to limit eligible lands based on proximity to population centers are a step in the right direction, they do not adequately address the core issue of privatizing public lands for private gain. Our public lands should be managed sustainably for the benefit of current and future generations, not auctioned off to the highest bidder. I urge you to reconsider this provision and instead focus efforts on protecting and responsibly stewarding America's public lands, a precious and irreplaceable resource. Utahns deeply value access to public lands for recreation, traditional uses, and ecological preservation. Selling off these lands betrays the public trust and compromises our identity and values as a state. Utah deserves better stewardship of our shared natural wonders.
