Bush to sell public land

The Denver Post reports that the Bush administration plans to sell 21,000 acres of public land "to raise money for rural schools in other states." The parcels include lands overlooking Rocky Mountain National Park, along the Mount Evans Highway, near Grays and Torreys peaks, west of Vail ski resort, and around St. Mary's Glacier.

This ought to enrage four types of people:

1. Environmentalists, for the obvious reason.
2. Local-government types, who resent DC control.
3. Small-government types, who resent big spending.
4. Me.

I first mentioned this story a couple days ago. But it deserved an update.
