I have to laugh at the comments that attempt to defend state's rights to manage their own lands.  For those of you that live in and around Anchorage and the Mat-Su, I challenge you to  take a drive in either direction and look at all the nasty, eye-sore garbage that's laying along the road on both sides of the highway.  People put that garbage there and nobody is designated to pick it up and take it to the dump.  If this is how people in their home state respects state lands, then I'm glad that the federal government is in charge of managing the lands that Congress made possible for everyone to enjoy.  Take care of your highway garbage, Alaskans, so that everyone can be proud of the state that we live in.  Tourist will be here soon and what an eye-sore.
