I asked if @TimSheehyMT supports the proposal to sell millions of acres of public lands. According to a statement from his comms director, he "believes public lands belong in public hands and opposes the sale of public lands. He is pleased to see Montana exempted.”
Millions of acres of Colorado's public land are eligible for sale under the Republican budget bill. They include popular mountain biking (Lunch Loops) and hiking trails, all of the forest east of Indian Peaks Wilderness, and more. Map and context here: denverpost.com/2025/06/17/col…

Public land sales are back on the table. Senate GOP proposes transfers of more than 3 million acres, possibly in every Western state (except for Montana hmmmm). @thatsMohrlikeit with the breaking news for @highcountrynews hcn.org/articles/senat…
