Then ag taxes arent even bread crumbs to the locals...31 cents an acre won't pay for a lightbulb in a street lamp.
Pure bullchit.
Agree...
The citizens of Natrona county are better off with the feds owning the Marton ranch...about 8.5 times better off just from a tax value standpoint. Now factor in the increased outdoor recreational value of 35k additional acres from hunting, fishing, camping, etc...
It's a no brainer.
What if I offered $3 per acre... they would be even better off.
I'll pay $3k in taxes for a 1,000 spread in the Yellowstone Valley. Anyone else?
Pure manipulative .GOV bullchit.
Ask him exactly who collects the fees for oil and gas, grazing and timber allotments on govt land...
Hint: It ain't the county.
Yet, PILT is the socialistic savior contrived by a federal govt that has no constitutional authority to be the largest landowner in U.S.
Cray-Cray, huh?
