    logo_leagueofwomenvotersClarkdale AZ (April 11, 2016) – Land transfer or land grab? The controversy over control of Federal lands in the West is the subject of the the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley Education Program on Monday April 18. Presenter Susan Culp, Principal of NextWest Consulting, LLC, says, “Conflict between states in the Intermountain West and the federal government over the control and use of public land is nothing new, but efforts by western states to mount legal strategies to force the federal government to transfer public lands to state control have been gaining new momentum over the past few years.

    The issue has gained widespread visibility – morphing from the behind-the-scenes corporate think tank of the American Legislative Exchange Council developing and quietly shopping model legislation to demand transfer of public lands to states, to the national media spectacle of the armed standoff at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The transfer of federal public lands to states has become a lightning rod for an emotional debate over the future of vast land holdings in America, with passionate advocates on both sides.” Her presentation will explore the history of the issue, the constitutional case being made both for and against federal land transfer efforts, and discuss the competing views about the role and purpose of public lands held by supporters and opponents of this controversial idea.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
