Aside from military bases and offices, the federal government should not be in the business of owning land.
The land should be deeded back to the states. Actually, by means of a lottery, it should be deeded back to the citizens.
So they are saying the lives of people are less important than some twigs, mice, moss, etc. by restricting water for drinking and fire fighting.
At the rate some Federal agencies are abusing power there might be another bombing that makes Oklahoma City look tiny. I do not advocate such action, just observing what’s happening.
Gotta wonder...if this was a “Chocolate City” as one Mayor once described his distressed town, would the Corps of Engineers be on it like ants on an anthill? I’m guessing they would.
Enough of that nonsense. Get armed citizen volunteers for security and make the freakin’ repairs! Dare the damned forest service thugs to interfere. That’s the only way to start regaining our rights- with resistance.
This sounds like Klamath Falls all over again. Ping to someone who would know.
The Forest Service is being faulted but is cler of charges. The Forest Service is merely enforcing the law, the law designating the land in question as wilderness and thus pretty much untouchable.
The fault then is that of the Congress that passed the law designating the area to be wilderness. Tombstone should therefore seek redress in the congress to pass a waiver for utilities easements
