Representative Jared Polis (D-CO) offered an amendment to H.R. 5538, the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017, which would prevent attempts to divest of America’s parks and public lands that are outside of the established land-use planning process. Any effort to transfer national public lands to states would inevitably result in states selling off our public lands to developers and polluters. This transfer is highly opposed by the American public. On July 14, the House rejected the Polis amendment by a vote of 188-239 (House roll call vote 473). YES IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
