Congressman Simpson signs on to bill blocking the sale of public lands
Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson is putting his foot down when it comes to the federal government selling public lands.
This week, Simpson joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers in cosponsoring the Public Lands in Public Hands Act, which would block the sale of most federally-owned lands.
Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke (R) has sponsored the legislation both this congressional session and the previous session, along with Reps. Troy Downing (R-MT) and Gabe Vasquez (D-NM).
