Candidates should know facts

Shaun Pandina stated he wants to "return full control of our public lands to Montana.” This is absurd and we should expect more from any candidate. He should know that if the Feds turned all Federal land to Montana, our state government would be forced to sell the public land.
There is no way Montana could possibly pay to maintain roads or other necessary expenses on all that land.
Please don't support a candidate who states strong opinions when they haven't even bothered to learn the facts.
Too many voters are uneducated and misinformed. We don't need elected officials to be equally lazy.
Public lands are sacred to all of us and must be left alone forever.
Also, roadless areas need to remain roadless. The Forest Service already has 8 billion dollars worth of back log on road maintenance. We cannot maintain the roads we already have.
The state of Montana would be responsible for building and maintaining roads for commercialization, such as logging, mining, oil exploration, etc.
If the federal government turned its public land to Montana, one single forest fire would bankrupt the state.
