The preliminary draft report from the Nevada Public Land Management Task Force goes quickly to the bottom line: It costs the federal government to manage public lands, while states earn a profit when they take over the land.
The BLM loses 91 cents an acre on land it controls, while the average income for the four states that have public trust land is $28.59 per acre.
The draft report said the state could net $114 million by taking over 4 million acres of BLM land. Taking over all 48 million acres could net the state more than $1.5 billion — about half the current annual general fund budget.
The R-J has a story on the draft.
