Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tim Sandstrom" data-source="post: 86968" data-attributes="member: 1108">The tribe has already approved pipeline crossing. It's no surprise given the fact a tribal member(s) are part owners in the company. Some say access will be better paying a 30 dollar access fee. Play that card if you wish. I have not been able to purchase a deer rifle tag for many years because the tribe thinks non-members do not need a tag. So that means 30,000 acres I could hunt are now gone, completely for the purpose of a rifle tag. Gst, authority does not exist to transfer to the state and most likely never will. The 30000 acres available for grazing bids will now be controlled by the tribe. You won't necessarily like that outcome. Come take a look at the acres of quality farm land turned to weeds because the leasing tribal member asks erroneous amounts of cash rent. That's hundreds of miles of shoreline cattle could find a tough way to water. The tribal game and fish really only agrees to the MOU with NDGF because the Corp land created a negotiation piece. We pay them 25000 not to charge access fees and require tribal fishing licenses. So who's to say what's next?Hundreds of thousands of taxes in lieu will be gone to counties within reservation. The list can go on. Bottom line there are no excess acres per definition. In the 90's they came up with 7000. In 2004 they came up with zero. Now 30000?  And all they quote in the FAQs is a surplus property act with no indication of criteria on how?  It's ludicrous. But it's here. So I persuade you tell your officials you want the state and counties to sue. At this time, about only recourse because like politicians trying to get elected all we did was piss and moan. Complacency kills the cat, not curiosity.</blockquote>
