now, about public ownership of lands, more the merrier. I greatly appreciate that I can go almost anywhere is western states onto public lands. Try that in Virginia or New York where it is all private and posted.
He in effect violated a lease by not paying the fees. Like I said in the post above yours. Turn that land over to them and let them pay property taxes and see what happens. Then he would claim that property taxes are illegal somehow.
The fact is, he was broke, couldnt pay the fees/lease and used this for an excuse.
But, the way the feds handled it was as usual as criminal.
Read up on what they did to Wayne Hage. One of the most criminal acts of federal abuse ever committed in this are of the country. They actually set him up to go after him.
In short, Cliven is guilty of failing to uphold his end of a lease-grazing fees. The feds failed to follow proper procedure and sent in the thugs and figured in getting away with it. It was nothing more than a feud between the Bundys and the Reid cabal. Reid wanted that land for a scam he hatched-just like the scams he tried to hatch down here by Laughlin NV.
But that is a incident that would take a long time to explain.
