In Washington, the Intermountain West is the least understood part of the country. It’s simply a matter of perspective. The federal government owns about half the land in the West, including more than 86 percent of Nevada. Yet, the Feds own less than five percent of the East.

They have no idea what that means for families in the West who work hard to make a living or for local and tribal communities who face numerous obstacles, in the form of federal constraints, as they try to improve and grow. We are, for too many of them, “fly over” country – their perspective is to look down on us from 30,000 feet.
