Public lands sale - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Looks like we dodged a bullet.

Mike Lee pulled his Publick Land Sale bill two days ago. He said he could not guarantee the land would not fall into unintended hands after changes required by the parliamentarian.

Personally, I believe he pulled it back, because received so much heat from other GOP and constituants and I believe he will try it again, if given the chance. I am relatively certain, his political career is severely damaged. I used to like him, but not anymore. I hope this was a career ending move for him.

We have a temporary reprieve as it's been removed! While they're pointing to other reasons, we know it was political suicide to move forward with this and it was the voice of the people that stopped it. I will circle back when Lee tries again cause I believe this is his 3rd attempt.
There's a bunch of other bad stuff still in there. If you're on medicare or medicaid, they're still coming after your healthcare and will do nothing to keep you from going bankrupt if you get sick and have no insurance but that's a subject for another forum. I think we can all agree we don't want higher debt though so why give billionaires tax cuts? Off my soap box, let's talk fishing!
