RED ALERT! Utah suing federal government in the Supreme Court over control of BLM land!
Governor Spencer Cox Announces Lawsuit Challenging Federal Government’s Control Over Unappropriated Land Now Managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
If SCOTUS rules in Utah’s favor, then the federal government would be prohibited from indefinitely holding unappropriated lands. Utah claims that it wants the land to remain public, but do you trust the States not to privatize, lease, or prohibit access to this land?

Private vs federal!
Thoughts on private sector jobs versus federal jobs? I’m currently a permanent tech with USFWS but I’m not seeing much room for advancement. There’s a lot of high level GS-11+ jobs that I don’t qualify for, so I’ve been thinking of going private sector and maybe coming back to federal later? I already have started my federal retirement clock and TSP and I know after 3 years permanent you can come back non competitively. But I’m seeing a lot of interesting private sector jobs! What’s your experience, advice, or input? Thanks!
