Seems to be folks are all focusing on the cows and turtles.
Spending 3 million to recover a 1.1 million debt of fees and fines doesn't make any sense...
Spending 3 million to clear the way for opening the land for shale oil and natural gas exploration and the feds being in talks with companies out of Texas for leasing mineral rights makes things a bit more clear.
In either case the whole thing stinks to high heaven.
