This ain't going to help lower energy prices a bit: With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Tuesday March 7, 2000; 6:46 AM EST Another Clinton Land Grab? It hasn't received much national media attention, but President Clinton's recent bid to federalize more than 400,000 acres in California is beginning to rub some local officials the wrong way. In a move reminiscent of Clinton's 1996 Utah land grab, where the White House surprised state officials by converting the coal rich Grand Staircase-Escalante region into a national monument, the president proposes to confiscate California's Sequoia National Forest. The land Clinton wants to take just happens to be the size of Rhode Island but, once again, if state officials don't like it, well -- that's tough.
