Yosemite Land Deal Sparks Outcry | Boise News

A controversial proposal to swap a strip of Yosemite National Park for private land in Nevada has ignited fierce backlash. Allegations, based on anonymous sources and internal docs, claim the Trump-era Interior Department backed a deal with Kingsbarn Realty Capital — which seeks better access to park attractions via a new road connection. The Interior Department denies the claims outright, calling them politically motivated. California lawmakers and environmental groups are united in opposition, stressing parks are sacred and off-limits for sale. A similar road plan was blocked by federal court a decade ago — a precedent now being invoked to shut down this latest attempt. The company remains silent, but officials say any deal must follow full legal and environmental review. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
