“he didn’t sign the agreement” and there you have it. Bundy has been grazing w/o contract for the past twenty years.
He doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on and is suckering a great number of militia types and tea partiers into his windmill jousting.
BLM broke the grazing contract by not maintaining the land as promised for the fee....then refused to re negotiate, get the facts straight, there was no grazing fee contract anymore. However Bundy tried to pay grazing fees to County but they would not take them, and he maintained the land himself, so actually they owe him, and he should bill the BLM, which would make things about equal, imho.
Do you have the BLM direct deposit your checks?
The Bundy's paid grazing fees from 1870 to 1993. Only when CLINTON's BLM decided to change the deal did Bundy finally have enough.
The bigger picture... You are missing it.
