Owners of popular fishing spot accuse George P. Bush of hypocrisy (on Eminent domain)

The owners of the popular Galveston County fishing spot known as Rollover Pass in Galveston County are accusing Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush of hypocrisy for seeking to take their land while casting himself as a champion of private property rights.

The Gilchrist Community Association, which is the caretaker of the property owned by the Gulf Coast Rod, Reel and Gun Club, says it has "declared war" on the General Land Office over the contested Rollover Pass.

Association president Ted Vega said Bush's actions contradict his December push in support of residents fighting the federal Bureau of Land Management over land along the Red River.

"If Mr. Bush has enough time and energy to go fight the battle with the BLM on the land grab that they're doing, and they're not doing anything with us here, then he is initiating the land grab," Vega said.

The "land grab" refers to an attempt by the General Land Office to close Rollover Pass over environmental concerns. Because the agency does not have the power of eminent domain, it asked Galveston County Commissioners Court to take the land, which it voted to do last month.

This is a fee to read site, and I refuse to pay anything to read that a Bush is stealing property via eminent domain Just a Bush doing what Bush persons do.

I pointed out to people here in Grayson County that husband supposed business experience here in Texas to gain eligibility to run was simply having his name on a door while actually living in Florida near his parents. Folks here just saw the Bush name and went with him.

The Bushes get dumber as they go down the line.

George P Bush has never shown much regard for property rights and privacy.

George P Bush is scheduled to go on trial tomorrow in San Antonio for trying to loot the private Alamo artifacts collection that are currently held by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

I will try to find out more about the status of the P’s looting trial tomorrow.

That’s very much the reality.
Seems “P” has that aboriginal Mexican blood. The indigenous people of Mexico to the tip of Argentina are pretty lacking in the intelligence department.

Now wait a minute. I thought people here supported eminent domain. JUST TAKE THE LAND and tell the people to get over it, right? Isn't that what we're suppose to be supporting these days?
What if the Bushes decided they wanted that land for, say, a parking lot and decided to support the environmental agency instead? After all, people can change their beliefs overnight, right? It happens all the time. Why wouldn't that be ok? Why all the negative posts?
What am I missing here?

Fear not if Trump wins eminent domain will grow like the made guys say it’s just business.

...refers to an attempt by the General Land Office to close Rollover Pass over environmental concerns.

What we saw in Florida was groups like the EPA tended to find their 'snail darters' on beautiful land the little jerks didn't want to pay for...

Either they find them or they stock them. Either way.

Imho, having a member of a 'special' species on your land is a huge liability. Fix that as you see fit, but don't let anyone know or see it.
