Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 86964" data-attributes="member: 373">Allow the obvious to be pointed out. 1. the concern here arises from a lack of being able to impact the FEDERAL Corp of Engineers management of these lands. 2. it has been a consistant statement these lands should be transferred back to the states, any insinuation that includes sovereign nations is a disingenuous fools ploy So mounty/wstnodak after making this statement, would you answer one question? which are you most likely to be able to impact, the Federal Corps management of these lands, or a state agency answerable to your elected state representatives whom you may run into at Menards or Perkins or sit by in church?I can introduce a bill thru my state legislature to allow access to the shores of a lake the state manages, and then testify myself in support and get others on sites like this to join me,  what is the process to gain that thru a lake the Corps. manages? Submit comments in a public comment period that are largely ignored? File a law suit spending hundreds of thousands over several years only to be shot down in a Federal court?If anything this is a great example why states are better suited to responsively manage these lands in conjunction with how the people that actually live in the state wish. Thank you for pointing that out mounty.</blockquote>
