“There was no lease charge, then there was, then the BLM started increasing the “off limits” land, and now we have this.
And people like you supporting the Feds in this...”
And people like you can’t read! He was paying a lease fee and stopped, the off limits was declare several years after he stopped payments. I’m not supporting the Feds but I do support ownership and they have it. The real question is should they and I say NO. But right now it is what it is,
Because they kept arbitrarily changing the deal.
The Feds claim ownership of that land absent Art 1 Sec 8 authority to own that land for that purpose to begin with.
