Stupid Dem run states that completely or mostly shut down their own states so that their citizens can overrun arguably better run states that adjoin them. That’s my take anyway and it’s 
.
I am wholeheartedly against turning over Fed land to States. The short term benefits (think current Pineview situation) are enticing, but in EVERY case in the west, those states then begin to sell off what once was public land to private interests. Every. Single. Time.
As frustrating as the Feds can be, they have a multi-use mandate that States do not. That and any Tom, Dick, and Harry can file lawsuit after lawsuit tying their hands to do anything productive in the present. I don’t envy their position.
