"House Republicans say they want to offload "underutilized" federal buildings. Their math isn’t mathing."
"Earlier this month, the 190-member Republican Study Committee released a framework for a second reconciliation package that calls for “federal agencies to sell off or lease at a low rate underused and/or underutilized federal properties to expand access to affordable private-sector housing that enables homeownership.”
If that sounds alarmingly familiar it is because Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee repeatedly used words like “underused” to describe public lands during his failed effort last year to force a sell-off of millions of federal acres under the guise of combatting America’s housing crunch.
In an effort to better understand the RSC proposal, Public Domain exchanged several emails with caucus spokesperson Calli Cooper.
Cooper said that the GOP caucus is not targeting federal public lands, but rather looking to offload “government buildings not in regular use, or not being actively used at all.”"
