Their comments.
Anyone from Oregon who can comment what % of Oregon they represent?
I would not want to go inside OR borders if most of them are like this.
The really sad part about it is it looks like this Oregon Rep went through the democratic process to try to improve the relationship between BLM and ranchers but no, the feds will have none of it.
Greg Walden addresses U.S. House on situation in Harney County, OR, federal overreach in the West
Summary - 24 minute c-span - Walden talks about legislation he wrote to alleviate growing tension between ranchers and BLM. Despite it's passage, he describes how BLM often ignores the law. For example, BLM was supposed to build fences to keep cattle off "federal land" but it doesn't.
He also provides some context for the Hammond's outrageous prison sentence and cites examples of BLM setting these back fires on private land without consequence or even reimbursing for things like burned fences. Walden states that with the fines, the 2 Hammonds back in prison, and the stripped grazing rights - that leaves the grandmother in charge of the ranch, that will be in BK before long.
Oregon Live is the Portland Oregonian’s web site. Aka, Portlandia. It’s a different nation all together. This is the “Love Wins” crowd that is proud of their sanctuary city.
