"The annual Burning Man festival received a permit to use federal land in Nevada’s desert after a clash over federal land managers’ expensive requests.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agreed to rescind its requests for a $1 million facility for BLM employees that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had called 'unprecedented and extravagant' and 'outlandishly unnecessary.'

'We’ve made tremendous progress over the past six weeks to agree on common sense solutions that meet BLM’s needs and ensure the health and safety of those supporting and participating in the Burning Man event,' Burning Man chief Marian Goodell said in a statement."
