[Citizen Zed]

And what is Dirty Harry's cut in the deal?

[Vince Ferrer]

The words “spur development” and “create a wilderness” don’t go together.

[Hugin]

“while another would help ranchers”

“We’re from the Federal Government, and we’re here to help.”

[DakotaGator]

I smell pork barrel politics. And the losers will be We The People.

[Fightin Whitey]

Dirty Harry.

Dingy Harry.

Dingy.

[Citizen Zed]

Dingy is not quite as dirty as dirty. How about filthy Harry?

[Fightin Whitey]

Filthy will work.

Paedo Harry would work good too.

lol

(DIRTY) Harry Callahan:
I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

[FlingWingFlyer]

The last time I was up in that area, it already was a “wilderness”. Hell, snakes and birds don’t even live in some of those places.

[Scrambler Bob]

The words “spur development” and “create a wilderness” don’t go together. —

create a wilderness = US Citizens keep away, with restrictions.

spur development = give that same pristine land away to buddies (solar, wind farm). And Citizens keep OUT.

[Fightin Whitey]

Kinda feels like my...

[Flycatcher]

Yes, Harry is a homosexual pedophile. We need to get the word out.

This charge is very serious. I think Harry must prove he's not.

[afraidfortherepublic]

They should introduce a Bill to open Yucca Mountain.

[tbw2]

Agreed. Taking land off the tax rolls and prohibiting productive use doesn’t help the local economy.

[morphing libertarian]

Ditto

Is Gold Butte being designated a Wilderness Area?

The article lacks details. Does anyone know the bill numbers?

[Ray76]

It’s all about “mitigation”. That is what is going on at Bunkerville on Gold Butte (Bundy)

[Ray76]

“Wilderness areas” are used as “mitigation banks” to offset destruction caused by development elsewhere.

For example, Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas) has for about two decades worked to layer various designations on Gold Butte so that it can be used as a mitigation bank for development elsewhere, such as at the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone and development happening at LV. Gold Butte is where the “Bunkerville grazing allotment” is, the land the Bundy family has been ranching for generations.
