We had a case here in my county where the state took land for nonpayment of taxes. The taxes would have been paid but greenies, the county and the state had it tied up in court over what the guy could do with his own property.
Once the land was taken the leases were approved within a month with the county and state dividing up the mineral rights before putting the property up for auction. The only silver lining was that the greenies got used by the state and tossed aside.
I just gave that reply privately to someone who made a point objection...thanks.
People who haven’t dealt with the government or the leftist Environmentalists have no idea how they can put enough fines, penalties, and legal expenses on someone to get the land easily.
