Conservation of public lands is like a 90-10 issue even in Republican districts but the people in power have never seen a corporation they won't sell their constituents out for.
NASA could spend 1.5 trillion dollars on rockets going up into space and down again for a year and I'd consider that a more meaningful and worthwhile investment than whatever we're doing in the Middle East.
One of the reasons that the attempted public land sale last summer was so absurdly corrupt is because there were huge chunks of massively valuable public land parcels that would/could have been part of that sale (remember the criteria were never clarified in Lee’s own words, leaving foreign purchasers as fair game).
It no doubt would have included chunks of the Bridger Teton National Forest, where Jackson Hole Ski Resort operates under a special use permit on public Forest Service land. You can go spend time there today with your family, but somehow these high dollar sales for foreigners and Californians were supposedly a way for me to increase my liberty (?).
These homes they’re talking about in this article in Teton Village in the $20-50m range are usually private in holdings on USFS parcels or adjacent to the national forest, so they’re a good proxy for the true value of these parcels and their amenities that you can access today because they’re still public.
Anyways, that’s all to say that the reason they wanted to sell public land trough a back door budget process is exactly because these parcels are worth extraordinary amounts of money, and being the guy who decides what parcel to sell is really great for your donors, but not so great for those of us who have to live next to all the California billionaires who would have purchased all these parcels had we lost.

It's crazy how it’s always the same thing every single time.
Are the conditions bad in Denver? I wasn't aware. Need Tony Romo to tell me for the 50th fucking time that the conditions are bad. Can barely see the field but please Tony, tell me how bad the conditions are
