“I want to stress to all of you that as the sheriff of Clark County I cannot interfere with the federal government when it is operating on federal land,” Gillespie said. “And because this is BLM property, it is in its jurisdiction. ”
I do not believe that is a true statement and the good Sheriff knows it
Wonder what would happen if some rich tycoon just paid the grazing fee fine?
Also, I have heard stories I cannot confirm that the Govt (the BLM) euthanized some of the tortoises because they didn’t have the funds to feed them. (Of course, that’s a bunch of BS) If so, isn’t that a federal crime in itself?
