It’s not incompetence. It’s by design.
The Mescalero have been forbidden from taking proper care of the land by the BIA and BLM — specifically to make it impossible for houses to exist.
Next move is to make properties uninsurable and not able to be financed, so people surrender private land to the government and/or giant property developers.
Billionaires want private playgrounds and this is how they grab the land since Obama.
They did the same thing in Hawaii.
Aren’t they a sovereign people who can tell Uncle to stick it? The White Mountain Apache Tribe over in Arizona manages its own forest lands without interference from the Feds.
I know the Indians are not super into forest management either these days. And you do have a point. I know a few people down there who lost their insurance in the last year or two. And someone who just moved there in April had hell finding it.
agree on all points
we live in fire danger here in southern Arizona - usually set by drug runners or gubmnt
prayers for a miracle
be safe
The Mescalero should tell the BLA and BLM to pound cactus and do what they want.
