Letter: Public input sought on land

Wednesday, June 19, 2002 | 9:12 a.m.

Mr. Freeman's complaint is even more interesting given the fact that he is the president of Southern Nevada Off Road Enthusiasts (SNORE), which is also one of the 25 members of the Nevada Land Users Coalition. The Nevada Land Users Coalition submitted its own recommendations for the wilderness component of the bill to Reid and Ensign almost a year ago when the senators held several public meetings to hear various proposals for the bill and concerns that should be addressed.

What the senators have come up with is a huge compromise that took many, many hours of hard work and endless discussions with various stakeholders. For Mr. Freeman to say that there has been no public input to the process, when his own group SNORE is a member of a large coalition that submitted recommendations for the bill and undoubtedly met with either one or both of the senators, is ridiculous.
