Bush Puts Western Lands On Campaign Agenda. Will Other Candidates Do The Same?

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush announced his plan for managing public lands and natural resources today in Reno. His suggestions ranged from giving states more control over federal lands within their borders to moving the main office of the Interior Department to a Western state. The announcement could be a sign that natural resource issues will play a more prominent role in the 2016 election than they have in the past.
