[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 86969, member: 605"] If a transfer "MUST" occur, I'm against any give away. The lands in question were condemned, taken and the landowners compensated. The greater good for the greatest many. That is how public works get built. That said, if a transfer of excess lands must occur, then the landowner who's land was originally taken should have first option to purchase it back at "appraised value." And to be fair, that should include Natives. The way it looks now, the Corps is seeking money to pay for the transfer to the Tribes. That's dumb. 30,000 acres X $1200 dollars per acre = $36 million dollars. That amount of money could be used to operate the fed/gov for about 2 hours 15 minutes. Psh!!! The Corps of Engineers Master Manuel says the land cannot be transferred directly to the State of ND. The State should rip a page out of the fed/gov playbook and create a non-profit. Place the land into it and at a later date transfer the land to the State. Ha [/QUOTE]
