We have a very fine well managed National forest here that has become one of my favorite exercise venues because of it's sheer size and it's ruggedness. National Forests are managed differently. They are for the outdoor use by the people doing many things. Hiking camping 4 wheeling horseback riding and Louman there is more there then a few pine beetle ( by the way that is Hemlock woolly adelgid a European import that is eating the trees. Here in the east the damage is being contained by planting a disease resistant variety. I saw a whole hillside of them in the Smokies last fall. Anyway what makes the trees prone to this damage Louman? Ah......... Acid rain caused by coal fired power plants. In the National forests you are encouraged to roam wherever you want instead of staying on the beaten path. And if it was established there was a reason. I think it's great that the government actually makes up lost tax income to the states and locals for the land that it controls. It doesn't have to do therick0427https://www.blogger.com/profile/16896247508408180825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-45131200010407446132016-02-13T08:47:19.430-08:002016-02-13T08:47:19.430-08:00According to a 2012 Congressional Research Service...According to a 2012 Congressional Research Service report, the federal government owns roughly 635 million acres of the 2.27 billion acres in the U.S.<br /><br />When states have federal lands within their borders, those states can receive Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT), which are federal monies given to local governments as payment for property taxes lost to non-taxable federal lands, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior. In 2013, the states received roughly $400 million in PILT payments, up from the $393 million sent out in 2012.<br /><br />Seems there would be more concern in the west for the amount of Federal Land owned by the Federal Government as they own little in the east.<br /><br />Nevada Max is 84% Federal Land. My county 54% Federal Land. The sad part the National Forests are not managed and are now ravaged by the pine beetle with dead forests prime for forest fires as far as the eye can see. <br /><br />http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/nicksorrentino/2014/04/19/federal-land-as-a-percentage-of-total-state-land-area-n1826391<br /><br />Another example of government non management.loumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882146154150499756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-90647715923179464642016-02-11T19:00:21.148-08:002016-02-11T19:00:21.148-08:00Let's just throw everyone in jail and be done ...Let's just throw everyone in jail and be done with it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12064694227628006142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066062120776667625.post-73827339429475863232016-02-11T18:57:17.589-08:002016-02-11T18:57:17.589-08:00When exactly will they address his grievances?

The call was broadcast live on an audio feed posted on the Internet.<br /><br />"I'm actually pointing a gun at my head. I'm tired of living," Fry said during the phone call. He later added, "Until you address my grievances, you're probably going to have to watch me be killed, or kill myself."
