Despite the attempts to do so at the last minute, under the cover of night, and without an opportunity for review by other members of Congress or the public, this<br \/>\namendment received robust bipartisan opposition and was ultimately stripped from the reconciliation text in the House Rules Committee, prior to the floor vote.\nThe language of the House amendment included no requirements for public use and no limitations on how the lands can be used once sold &#8211; meaning they may be developed for golf courses, luxury resorts, strip malls, private vacation homes, or simply flipped for sale again. Many of these lands, if sold, would fuel urban sprawl and the growth of extractive industries to the detriment of wild places and biodiversity. Some of the parcels listed for sale included acreage in designated Wilderness Areas, National Conservation Areas, and a number of Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. Several parcels included in the House amendment were adjacent to Zion National Park. Vast swaths of public land across southern and central Nevada, including pristine habitat for endangered species, were targeted. And some of the parcels in southern Utah appeared included solely to pave the way for the Lake Powell pipeline, which<br \/>\nwould exacerbate the water crisis on the Colorado River.\n<p>The public had no opportunity to participate in the process of identifying these parcels, let alone time to understand the long-term effect of selling off these public lands. Decisions about the future of public lands should remain in public hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leaders in the House and Senate, extractive industry, and private developers are using the reconciliation process to sell off federal lands to pay for billionaire tax cuts.<\/strong> But such moves are deeply unpopular. Polling has repeatedly shown that the public-especially westerners-strongly believes in keeping public lands in public hands and, across partisan lines, rejects any efforts that would lead to the sale of these shared and cherished lands. The Senate should heed how dramatically unpopular this idea is and reject any misguided attempt to get public lands sales back in this bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is imperative that the budget reconciliation process is not used to sell off public lands.<\/strong><\/p>\nSincerely,<br \/>\nSouthern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA)<br \/>\nCenter for Biological Diversity<br \/>\n198 methods<br
