Public Lands and the Western Education Rip-off
I hope this article is correct that Sen. Reid is poised to run with the APPLE Initiative, requiring the federal government to deal with the billions of dollars it is stealing from western states by breaching commitments made at statehood regarding federal lands.

Although an unrealistic expectation, I would prefer to see the federal government sell off a great deal of federal lands, thereby eliminating the need for western states to have to "beg" Congress to give payments in lieu of taxes. That being said, PILT would be a step in the right direction and I share your hope that Harry Reid uses his new position of leadership to pursue such measures.
Today is November 30th.
This blue earth has rounded the sun twice since the day www.stevu.com was born. Which makes you an old, old man if you measure that in blog years.
Happy Birthday Steve! Thanks for the inspiration and insight - can't wait to see what's next.
Old man???? Just look at all his grey hair. Probably comes from having to work with the Senate.
Good job, Steve. Keep up the good work.
Steve, I hope this is true. You have been right on this issue from the get go. By the way, it's good to hear from you again. Voin Campbell.
I missed this post. Once again, you are right on Steve. This is yet another reason that Utah schools are so poorly funded. I'm disappointed that your site feed is not working - it does not show anything after June 2006. If there is a working feed for your blog can you post it?
