During two public-comment periods, Yerington resident Robin Biggs told the commission she believes public lands and BLM parcels are being sold improperly and urged the county to involve tribal and federal authorities.
“Open meeting walls and sunshine rules have been are being violated…The public lands are being sold illegally,” Biggs said, calling for state and federal involvement and for improved public access to minutes and group email lists. Her remarks raised concerns about transparency and the handling of several local projects, including Greenlink and data-center activity; staff acknowledged the comments but did not provide a legal response during the meeting.
