Proposal to end federal government business holdings
A 23rd amendment proposal would bar government involvement in business and require sale of land and facilities to states. Proponents claim debt could be reduced and taxes cut, with 50 billion from sales and 1.25 billion annual interest relief. Author Ralph Gwinn cites vast federal land holdings. Nevada example shows vast state reliance on federal ownership.
