Subject: RE: BS: Bundy ranch stand off
Ho hum.
So Obama takes orders from Senator Reid. Well, well.

Reid led the Republican candidate by 6% in the last election- he will do better in the next one as the Teas gradually wither.

The Interior Secretary is Kornze's boss.

The BLM has approved 47 solar, wind and geothermal projects. How many will get off the ground is unknown.
700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate are managed by the BLM.

Back to topic-
Multiple court orders are in effect calling for the removal of Bundy's cattle from public lands.
There are some 16,000 ranchers legally using BLM lands for grazing. Bundy seems to be the sole poacher.
Over 20 years, Bundy owes $1,000,000 for use of public land.

An influx of outsiders and threats of possible injury to the public and BLM employees, were a cause of concern and the BLM concluded the cattle gather and will attempt to end the operation in an orderly manner.

Court orders to remove the cattle remain in effect.
