The White House proposal to sell some 300,000 of acres of national forest land to help pay for rural schools is “dead in the water,” according to Sen. Conrad Burns, (R-Mont.). The proposed legislation, says Burns’ spokesperson Matt Mackowiak, would go directly to the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, which Burns chairs. “As far as [the proposal] advancing through the subcommittee,” says Mackowiak, “it’s just not going to happen.”
