Other states, such as Iowa and Minnesota, are also considering changing their policies concerning state land ownership

I think being able to limit the ownership of land is so important to happen. We have to take control of this and it will pay off in the long run. Great idea on this.

 This is not a Bad bill it is muche worse than that. I do not want decreased outdoor opportunities on public land I would like to see the opportunities increase. This is especially true in Souther Lower Michigan. Big money buys large tracts and eliminates access.
