It's a huge concern because a lot of the individual western states are also trying to get the Feds to sell or transfer the federal public lands so the states can control it. That means a fire sale to individual developers, oil/gas industries, etc., because there is no way an individual state can manage the huge amount of acreage out there such that there would still be the recreational opportunities out there that exist right now. It's almost all Republicans that are pushing this, but there are enough rouge Democrats in the mix to make it look like it will be a real fight over the next few years to keep OUR public land under the public trust the way it has always been.
