I am concerned that unelected bureaucrats in the United
States Government have the power and authority to make such a decision
that if implimented will have far reaching negative impacts on our
lives in rural America. The American people share ownership of our
public lands and our government is charged with maintaining those
lands, not selling them. Approximately 50% of Wyoming is public land.
Leases for livestock grazing, timber, mining and recreation ensure
that the public lands are maintained and provide employment for our
citizens. This ruling, if implimented, will have a devistating effect
on Wyoming jobs and our way of life.
