House Republicans push to sell thousands of acres of land in Utah, Nevada
House Republicans have added a provision to their sweeping tax cut package that would authorize the sale of hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in Nevada and Utah. The proposal prompted outrage from Democrats and environmental groups who called the plan a betrayal that could lead to increased drilling, mining and logging in the West. The plan would sell thousands of acres of public lands in the two states, and calls for some of the parcels to be considered for affordable housing projects. It's now part of Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts that is moving through Congress.
