Former BLM director trashes Pombo's public land garage sale

"RENO, Nev. -- The former top U.S. land manager for the biggest gold mining state in the nation says a proposal in Congress to privatize public mining lands "would be catastrophic, both environmentally and economically."

Bob Abbey, considered an ally of the mining industry before his retirement in June as the Bureau of Land Management's state director for Nevada, said the proposal by Republican Reps. Richard Pombo of California and Jim Gibbons of Nevada offers false hopes to rural communities to attract new businesses.

"There is nothing positive about this bill unless you happen to have ownership in a mining company," Abbey said."
