Not out West. The BLM destroyed my business, which took 20 years to build from nothing. An IG investigation backed up our claims that lower, mid-level employees in the BLM broke RICCO statutes (conspiracy to commit crimes), favored contractors for personal gain, etc. Their BLM law enforcement officer, who worked out of that area office, which participated in a cover up, was interviewed by the IG and said the particular office was “ethically challenged”. He was appalled, but could do nothing himself in the way of investigation, because their law enforcement are not allowed to investigate their own area offices.
What happened? All were transferred; one was promoted. All government is corrupt, but the BLM leads. As for me, well I went, at 55 years old, from the 1 percent to finishing out my work years at a dead end hard labor job. My family was destroyed, which severely impacted my sons. What else could you expect from a post constitutional America?
Did we have recourse? Sure we did! There would have been a hearing in six months, within the BLM auspices, which would have found for them. An appeal in the Interior Dept. six months later would have had the same results. Then we would have gone to court...Mean time, we would have lost all of our clients.
So sorry to hear all that my friend. Perhaps if you find the right attorney there is still time to do something about it. I suggest sending your story out far and wide. Hopefully someone with the right tools can help set things straight.
