Heres todays paper.... if you really interested in this situation the Nevada Appeal up here in Carson lays it out.
Pretty clear the turtles have been in the mix..... sorry , this is old news for the locals in 7 states. When they come for ya'll this is how they warmed up.
Its not my position to take. Not all govt land is aquired the same way. National parks are public trust.... a lot of the properties were donated believe it or not
I didn't see a clear description of ownership in that article. I searched for a while myself to no avail.
Some claim it is state land administered by the feds, others claim it is federal land. Some claim it was state land and the feds seized it. Seems like nobody knows, or wants release, the facts.
One thing I do know is that Bundy doesn't get to decide who's land it is. It's sad that, according to news reports, the sum of the Governor's "outrage" is over the First Amendment Areas. If the state truly owned the land then surely the Gov has options that can be exercised to mitigate BLMs actions unless of course, as I suspect, the state abdicated it's authority over the land in question in return for other riches and rewards.
Nutty.
