I don't understand why this bill is being passed, it doesn't seem right. How will this affect us in the long run?

I don't see why they're doing this. It's like, really? This is just ridiculous. Just leave it alone. #HRBill5682 #PechangaBand #CaliforniaLand

I don't think this bill is a good idea. It's not fair to just take land and give it to one specific group. What about the other people who could benefit from that land? It's just not right. I don't see how this is going to help anyone in the long run. It's frustrating to see decisions like this being made without considering the bigger picture. Who benefits from this bill anyway?
