Government of the Fat Cats, by the Fat Cats and for the Fat Cats
Wednesday, May 2, 2012

.
.
Today, Republican legislators in Utah and Arizona are pushing legislation
that would demand that the federal government turn over lands to the
states that aren't national parks, military installations or wilderness
areas. In Utah, that would be about 50 percent of all the land in the
state. In Arizona, it would be 40 percent.
.
The legislation has been blessed by ALEC, the conservative caffunded by
some of the richest corporate barons and richest companies in the world.
.
ALEC is a legislation mill that brings together state legislators and
corporate fat cats in a push by big businesses to wield widespread
political influence. It wields that influence by giving legislators
resourcesstaffers, researchers, legal wordsmiths and model legislationthat
they can't afford on their own.
.
In Idaho, 64 percent of the land is controlled by the feds. So it's a good
bet that our state, a reliable sucker for piling on almost any effort to
take a swipe at the federal government, will entertain similar legislation
when it meets again next winter.
.
But why would it? A stack of legal precedents say the land grab doesn't
stand a chance of success, though it has a great chance of costing
taxpayers millions to defend in court.
.
And if the states succeed? Taxpayers couldn't remotely afford to take care
of the lands now in the hands of the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management. Nationally, the Forest Service alone has a
budget of $4.86 billion.
.
So how would the successful rebel states cope? (Drum roll, please.) They'd
do what people with excess stuff do: They'd sell off prime pieces to the
highest bidders.
.
Westerners would kiss their hiking, horseback riding, ATVing, hunting,
fishing, boating, birdwatching and camping lifestyles goodbye as private
mining, timber, energy and agriculture companies throw up fences and No
Trespassing signs.
