Faced with an underfunded public school system, Lee argues that tracts of public land in the Beehive State could be auctioned off in order to bolster funding for public education.
Sportsmen and women and communities across our state place a high value in our public lands, including those that aren’t national parks, designated wilderness areas or national monuments. Although they might not boast the tens of millions of tourists seen by Zion or Bryce Canyon, the acres targeted by Lee are where we hunt, fish, run dogs and camp with our families. They have sustained communities for generations and provide critical public access for citizens from across the country.
