HR 2852, Action Plan for Public Lands and Education Act of 2011. Geos Institute opposed this bill as it proposed to enact a giant transfer of wealth from U.S. taxpayers to the states, which is not in the public interest. In total, H.R. 2582 would require the federal government to transfer approximately 30 million acres of federal public land to the States, with Alaska receiving over 8.4 million acres. National Forest County Revenue, Schools, and Jobs Act of 2011 (discussion draft): Geos Institute opposed this legislative proposal as it would liquidate national public assets to meet local government operating costs by giving local county commissioners unprecedented legal leverage to compel increased logging, mining, grazing, and oil and gas exploitation on national forest lands-irrespective of local environmental impacts or costs to taxpayers nationwide. Environmental laws would be effectively repealed including the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the National Forest Management Act. H.R.3599 : County Payments Reauthorization Act of 2011. Geos Institute supported the extension of county payments. S.1692 : County Payments Reauthorization Act of 2011. Geos Institute supported the extension of county payments.
