I think for the proponents who are now spread far and wide with 5 western states following Utah’s lead, and endorsements from the National Association of Counties and the National Republican Party they assume it is a done deal. That might be a little optimistic. However, the growing number of critics should not think that it is out of the question just because the federal agencies don’t think they have an obligation to move it along (we don’t have to, we’re the feds). I do however think that the current administration is taking this challenge seriously as they seem to be determined to create as many national monuments out west as they can. This would move land from the undesignated column to the designated column possibly taking those lands off the table for transfer.
This play is still very much in motion.
People need to get behind the transfer move now before Obama and buddies take alot of the land that could go back to states off the table for transfer, you can bet he is going full speed on that.
