EXACTLY!  That’s why it’s a bad idea and sets a dangerous precedent. So when that money runs out, we sell some more acres, etc, ad infinitum until all the lands are gone…or until we balance the budget? Don’t hold your breath…

 

Only explanation I can think of is that the Bush administration hopes that when THAT happens, it will not be on their watch!  I assume someone consulted a “higher power” on this decision as well. <sigh>

I have a dumb question about this idea. If a land sale is to replace another form of income for schools, what happens when the money runs out and the land is gone? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Selling the land outright results in the FS having less land parcels for negotiating with landowners to acquire larger contiguous areas and increase green spaces. >>
