Lee’s proposal has generated outraged among certain environmentalist groups, including the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) which claims that selling public lands “threatens public access, undermines responsible land management, puts environmental values, cultural resources, and endangered species at risk along with clean drinking water for 60 million Americans and betrays the public’s trust.”
Lee pushed back against those claims last week on Glenn Beck’s program, saying, “The federal government owns 640 million acres of land, nearly a third of all land in the United States. The vast majority of that land has zero recreational value. Disposing of a fraction of 1 percent of that, so that the next generation can afford a home, is a common-sense solution to a national problem.”
