DALLAS (AP) — Texas landowners who live along a river separating them from Oklahoma have reached a settlement with federal officials saying the Texas border lies with the meandering flow of the river.
A federal judge on Wednesday approved the terms that settle a long-running dispute involving the Bureau of Land Management and property owners along the Red River. The BLM had argued the river has shifted as much as 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) in some areas over the past century, and some of the dry land where the river once flowed belonged to the government, not residents who claimed ownership. Robert Henneke, a lawyer for the landowners, says the agency’s claims amounted to an unlawful federal land grab.
Obama Era BLM Bureaucraps were clearly off the rails. I hope most of the vermin who did this initially are gone bye bye. Out of DC and power.
This is an excerpt. Sorry did not so note it.
they are still off the rails concerning clive bundy and the late lavoy finicum’s friends
It helped that Texas Gov Abbott and the Texas Sec of state both said “ over my dead body” last year when the BLM started rumbling about seizing that land.
Yes. I’m very proud of both of them.
And it helps that Trump is POTUS.
Obozo’s circus is ended. Hopefully for good.
Yes, they are.
Was Obama inspired BureauCrap.
Yes Trump is reigning in the BLM. Thank goodness.
all land held by the government is held illegally except that land which is necessary for gov to conduct business, forts and ports
PING
FYI
Why does the Amarillo Globe News find it necessary to convert miles into kilometers for its Texas readers?
I suppose they're conforming to the globalist, Eurocentric, New York Times stylebook.
Sigh...
And in the summer when the Red River is nothing more than strip of mud a few feet wide, BLM will proclaim that the river doesn’t exist and grab the land.
for the illegals.
It’s the south vegetation line that counts- but I’m assuming you were using sarcasm.
Mark my words, some putz in the BLM will attempt to do exactly what I said in my earlier post.
I was on the Red River once.
It was covered in ice and we were racing each other along its meandering course on Snowmobiles.
North Dakota’s Red River.
He took the inside lane in the first turn which pushed him to the outside in the next. I jumped to the inside for the pass at full throttle only to slide out and watch him get an inside line on me. We traded positions on virtually every turn nearly an hour.
Great Fun.
Good news, thanks for posting.
And a thank you, to President Thomas Jefferson for the Louisiana Purchase treaty that contains this purely functional legal boundary with terms that even BHO couldn't successfully twist into saying something other than the original intent.
More likely the EPA will want to get involved.
