Wasden Cautions Re: Land Takeover

The quest for state control of Idaho’s otherwise federally controlled lands has received additional momentum, this time coming from one of the state’s top elected officials. Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden has begun speaking publicly about the issue across the state, and while supportive of the idea, has also cautioned that the task will be difficult. “There are two significant legal hurdles to overcome,” Wasden explained when contacted by IdahoReporter.com. “One is the fact that Idaho’s founders, in drafting the state’s constitution, forever disclaimed all rights and title to those federal lands. The second point is the fact that Idaho lawmakers told the federal government in 1947, in the form of a joint resolution, to continue to keep control of those lands”/ Austin Hill , Idaho Reporter.

Question: I wonder what Attorney General Lawrence Wasden really thinks of Idaho attempting to gain control of federal lands, deep down?
