Question #2 is on the ballot this year with overwhelming bipartisan support to address a real problem associated with the sale, swap and transfer of state-owned public lands.
The problem is not that the General Assembly has the authority to sell, swap and give away valuable state-owned public lands (this is done each year through a so-called public lands conveyance bill, SB 502 this year).

This is done by adding new public lands to the conveyance bill in the waning hours of a legislative session, with no public scrutiny.
