The Endangered Species Act is the favorite tool of the radical enviros to close public and private lands.
Many Fed employees and elected officials are members of these radical groups or sympathetic to them, it’s criminal in my view.
Democrat donor Ted Turner also benefited by this scam.
The former Spanish ( before there was a Mexico ) Land grant gave the locals the right to fish, hunt, remove logs for homes and for firewood, etc.
Ted bought the ranch below the hills for an expensive eco lodge that blocks access to the locals . The former Land of Many Uses is now closed unless you pay Ted large money to access this newly created wilderness.
