You worry about your hairstyles and I'll give away public lands to corporations and billionaires

Utah’s Republican email bulldog, backstabbing hypocrite, and man who clearly hates his daughter and wife Rep. Jason Chaffetz wants to remind you that he’s also got Koch brothers shill and betrayer of the public trust on his resume. And he wants to update that resume.

“It’s time to get rid of the BLM and US Forest Service police. If there is a problem your local sheriff is the first and best line of defense. By restoring local control in law enforcement, we enable federal agencies and county sheriffs to each focus on their respective core missions. “The long overdue disposal of excess federal lands will free up resources for the federal government while providing much-needed opportunities for economic development in struggling rural communities.”

That’s from his website where he has released H.R. 621 and H.R. 622. H.R. 621 is a direction to the Secretary of the Interior to sell “certain Federal lands in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming, previously identified as suitable for disposal, and for other purposes.” Just like the people who used to live on it!

H.R. 622 “To terminate the law enforcement functions of the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management and to provide block grants to States for the enforcement of Federal law on Federal land under the jurisdiction of these agencies, and for other purposes.” Because when a Republican wants to privatize things, take away anything worthwhile that the federal government may provide to its citizens, block grants are so very perfect.

Remember this: Cliven Bundy’s attorney was trying to get money out of the Koch brothers for a reason. These moves to give away public lands have gone back in Chaffetz’s Utah for a few years now, and they’re funded by American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and therefore the Koch brothers.
