182. Mont. House backs state power over fed land bill (claiming fed. lands by eminent domain - ALEC bill)

Link to the AP article about this on the Businessweek site:

http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9MAS6TO0.htm

"Can you imagine the economic development that we could possibly have on these federal lands if there are natural resources on there?" one MT state legislator said.

ALEC can, of course, and this appears to be based on ALEC's model legislation, and one of the bill's co-sponsors was mentioned in an ALEC press release.

Link to the separate DU topic about the article, which has links to the Montana bill and ALEC's description of that piece of model legislation:
