💨 Abstract

The article discusses a controversial provision added by House Republicans to their tax cut package, which would authorize the sale of thousands of acres of public lands in Nevada and Utah. This move has sparked outrage from Democrats and environmental groups, who argue it could lead to increased drilling, mining, and logging. The proposal, backed by Republican Reps. Mark Amodei and Celeste Maloy, also includes some land parcels for affordable housing.
