The point is the last thing AK needs is more Federal Land Management, forget for the minute the cost of them "managing" such.  If you've been watching these meetings over the years and providing input, it always results in more closures to recreational access on BLM land all juxtaposed with the State still not getting it's rightful share of land as dictated by Statehood.  In order, it's the Feds, the Native Corps, and finally the State which is just not right.  Furthermore, please explain why in the Lower 48 most Forest Service Roads are accessible via motorized transportation while up here it's the complete opposite (gates at every trail-head)-why the double standard?  No, this is more of the same old mission creep which ends up with enforcement overreach by bored bureaucrats as exemplified by the 40-Mile River case.
