Title: Gov signs BWCAW land swap bill
Post by: Lee Borgersen on April 04/28/12, 08:55:34 AM

          Governor signs BWCAW land swap bill over objections.


The bill ignores months of work by a legislative advisory working group that backed a hybrid compromise that would sell roughly half the state land to the feds and exchange the other half.

This is a good thing that Dayton signed this land exchange deal, rather than sell the land to the Feds.
It will enable the State to have control over the resources on the land.
