B.L.M. At it again, Claims 90,000 acres do not belong to Texas rancher

[Paul McCartney]

[QUOTE=OvB;44591004]If the article is correct, this rancher is just one person it would effect. It sounds like they're talking about the whole border between Texas and Oklahoma since the Red River moves overtime. The article states they're trying to redefine the boundary which would find many Texans suddenly becoming Oklahoma? Why would this be up to the Federal government and not Texas/Oklahoma?

Is the article trying to say the BLM is taking the land created by accretion and turning it into Federal land? Or are they saying they want to redefine the land to give Oklahoma back land it lost overtime which includes parts of this guys ranch?

Either way this is entirely different than Bundy.[/QUOTE]

The BLM gets its budget and therefore their pay by acre of land. So them trying to take a lot more land in order to get more funds would be completely possible. It's scummish behavior; but you give assholes like this the opportunity to and they will.

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea

That's like paying cops based on number of arrests or paying social security based on the number of people they exclude from getting it.

I'll find the official figure.

Wikipedia.

[quote]The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is an agency within the United States Department of the Interior that administers America's public lands, totaling approximately 247.3 million acres, or one-eighth of the landmass of the country.[1] The BLM also manages 700 million acres (2,800,000 km2) of subsurface mineral estate underlying federal, state, and private lands. Most public lands are located in western states, especially Alaska. [b]With approximately 10,000 permanent employees and close to 2,000 seasonal employees, this works out to over 21,000 acres (85 km2) per employee. The agency's budget was US$960,000,000 for 2010 ($3.79 per surface acre, $9.38 per hectare).[/b][2][/quote]
