No. Never did. About the closest thing to permits we ever dealt with was getting landowners to call DIGTESS before putting construction projects in.

Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really

NFS and NPS survive on probationary hires. This is going to gut their new hires and dramatically reduce the number of people caring for our public lands.

I want to cut waste as much as the next person but no new hires coming in to replace an already aging employee pool is going to take a decade to recover from. I know that sounds extreme or over stated but It's the truth. Many of those hires took 3-5 years or more to get hired. Cutting that out for just one year, even if they fix it in the next budget is going to take a long time to repair.
What public lands? Less than 1% of Texas lands are public? And what care? Other than State Parks, the best thing about public lands is that people are not required to work on them. More waste? More fraud?

You're totally right, public lands are lame, and nothing worthwhile ever happens on them.
