Utah Sen. Lee withdraws public land sale provision from GOP tax bill

The Republican Senator at Uta Mike Lee withdrew a clause in the law of one beautiful law on Saturday evening, which would have allowed the sale of federal lands for development after widespread anger among his conservative colleagues.

“Over the past few weeks, I spent a lot of time listening to members of society, local leaders, and stakeholders throughout the country. While there was a huge amount of wrong information – and in some cases, explicit lies – about my bill, many people made pure concerns.”

Lee, who heads the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said that he had withdrawn the ruling after his failure to secure “guarantees to ensure the sale of these lands only to American families”, not to China or companies. parliament in the Senate spent on Monday that the original language of the ruling did not correspond to the strict rules related to what could be included in the reconciliation legislation, while re -submitting the office of this ruling in a new language before it is completely withdrawn on Saturday evening.

He told me that he maintains his long position that the United States government possesses many lands that are often managed and left Americans, most notably in Western countries, with higher tax burdens.

“I still think that the federal government possesses a lot of land – the land it is exposed to the well -known character, and in many cases it is destroyed for the next generation,” he wrote to me in office. “Under the democratic presidents, huge spaces from the West are imprisoned for people who live there, without any useful haven.”

I included a mandate for sales of millions of acres of federal lands in a draft item for the tax reduction package earlier this month. He laid the ruling on Saturday before the procedural vote, as it denounced a handful of Republican lawmakers in both councils publicly, and they said that they would vote against the bill if it was included.

“We have the voices to strike,” Senator at Montana Steve Denz said on Thursday. “We are ready.”

“I agree with my colleagues that the federal government has mastered the management of federal lands for decades. But I do not agree with their solution. The solution is not to sell public lands.

“The people of the state of Idahu were clear – we do not support the sale of our public lands to the highest bidder. I am proud to help lead the effort to remove this ruling from a beautiful beautiful bill.”
