Federal Land Selloff Opposed By Congressman Bentz
(Washington, D.C.) -- An Oregon Republican Congressman partially opposes a plan to sell off federal land. Republican Senator Mike Lee wants to sell large amounts of federal land, which is supported by President Trump. Oregon Republican Congressman Cliff Bentz says it's an arbitrary sale for the sole purpose of removing it from federal ownership. Bentz says he doesn't oppose selling or exchanging federal land if there's a clear economic or social demand, as long as procedures take into account Native tribes, ranchers with grazing rights and recreators. Lee's plan was derailed by the Senate parliamentarian who ruled it could not be included in the President's Big, Beautiful Bill.
