📰 News we're reading

• New Bill Aims to Transfer Thousands of Acres of Federal Land to This State (gearjunkie.com) — Johnson Lane residents are directly affected by a new federal bill that could shift thousands of acres of nearby public land to Douglas County, partly to better manage flooding in neighborhoods like Johnson Lane and Ruthenstroth. The proposal also touches the Johnson Lane OHV Area, drawing support from safety and conservation groups but criticism from off-road advocates worried about losing riding access.
