Congress Votes Down Online Federal Land Inventory
In a 30 to 63 Senate vote on April 10, the chamber refused to require a publicly accessible online inventory of all federal land and annual operating costs. Proponents argued for transparency, while opponents warned of burdens and costs. The measure, an amendment to S 2739 on public lands, was defeated as lawmakers from Iowa and other states debated government property management and accountability.
