The fines are a result of Bundy grazing his 900 cattle on 600,000 acres of bureau-managed public lands since 1993 without a permit.

Well, that'll happen when the BLM and other government entities decide they, and not the people, own much of the West.

The reason there is so much federally managed land in the west is that the states conceded un occupied, unused, land to the fed as a condition of statehood.
In my county in Idaho, the feds manage 95% of the land.

And the lands, range and forests are poorly managed.
The USFS and BLM should be eliminated and all fed lands turned over the the states to manage.

Most people have little or no contact with the federal government, except on April 15 and going to the post office.

Those of us who live in many western states have to live with and be regulated by a bunch of incompetent, underachievers who are so badly politicized they can’t wipe their butts without holding a meeting to discuss which hand to use.
