TownHall: LAS VEGAS (AP) — The U.S. Air Force is giving an ultimatum to owners of a remote Nevada property now surrounded by a vast bombing range including the super-secret Area 51: Take a $5.2 million “last best offer” by Thursday for their property, or the government will seize it.

The answer: No, at least for now.

  1. Nevada is a huge state and the feds own most of it… Yet they need THAT particular spot? Come on. People on the western half of the US need to look at how much of your state is fed owned. The feds are buying us one acre at a time, making us more and more dependent and eventually their slaves.

  2. I’m afraid they already own us, lock, stock, and barrel. After the Civil War settled the fact that, once in the Union, a State couldn’t leave, their powers were eroded away over time, traded for Government assistance, welfare programs, highway funds, etc., etc., and all of it financed by our own tax payments. The transfer of title is merely a formality.

  3. Give em their price or shut the fuck up.

    The gov’t has NO PROBLEM handing out hundreds of millions to Obola donors for “green” energy scams and electric car bullshit, so why not give em their price?

    Didn’t they donate to Obola’s or Reid’s campaigns?

  4. “”The payment cannot result in a windfall to the owners,” she added.”

    Why not? Who was there first? Teh Gooberment already “owns” over 80% of the state. And adding those additional 400 acres wouldn’t result in a “windfall” for the military?

    Once a territory became a state, most of that land should have reverted (back) to the state. But in contradiction of established Federal law, this has yet to happen to many of the western states. I’m not sure what it is in other western states, but Teh Gooberment directly controls about 66% of Utah. And now Utah is taking the Feds to court to try to get their own back. How messed up is that? Just think how many natural resources each western state would have to balance their own budgets, with more money for schools (a common complaint), and less purse string control by. . . . . . ohhhh. . . . nebber mind.
