by Larry Swank One of the big problems facing our government is that of land use. Most people in the United States still live on five per cent of the land, but they are spreading out year by year. In addition, commercial pressures and demand for recreational land give rise to land use issues faster than the government has been able to handle them. What is needed is a land use program that would allow for growth while preserving our natural resources. What is so frustrating, is that while the problem is not new, the " solutions are not new either, and are too slow forthcoming.
