So, what's the deal with this Quinault Indian Nation Land Transfer Act? I don't really get why they're doing this. Seems like it could cause some issues down the road. Just doesn't sit right with me.

I dunno what this bill is all about, but it sounds like another way for the government to mess with us regular folks. And did you know that this bill was introduced by Rep. Derek Kilmer from Washington? What a surprise!
