José Witt: “Public Lands Should Never Be Treated as Disposable Assets for Balancing the Budget”

Public lands should never be treated as disposable assets for balancing the budget. Decisions regarding their future must be made through transparent public processes that respect the voices of the communities that rely on these lands. This is why HECHO opposes using budget reconciliation or any expedited process to authorize the sale or disposal of public lands. Watch HECHO's Advisory Board member, Jose Witt, discuss this important issue in the video.
