Who should receive this land? by Tiffany Hsieh, Mar 5, 2008 (4:28pm)

Opponents of this bill take issue with awarding the land to a church, and argue that it might be misused and developed. Supporters, however, argue that the resources that the National Forest Service has been using on this land could be better used elsewhere. In addition, they argue that since over 3000 graves already exist on the tract of land in question, it should be turned over to the church that has been operating the cemetery.
