Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 320787" data-attributes="member: 605">I also noticed that Fort Berthold and Fort Yates were included. Weird. Speaking of Native Americans. The White Earth Tribe of Ojibwe in Minnesota are requesting funds in the amount of $2,188,000 from the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund to purchase 1,994 acres of land. Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund was a sales tax voted in as a ballot measure (2008). Kind of like our 5% oil revenue rip off they tried here a few years ago. The money can be used to buy private property. Non-profits are usually the go between and then they flip it to the Government or usually the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The State pays something in lieu of taxes but it isn't the same as from a landowner. However, the Ojibwe do not want to give the land to the MN DNR. They want the land held in trust by the federal government. That's bad. No taxes to the county and they control access to hunting and fishing. I don't believe they were awarded the money. <a href="https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/community/forums/topic/possible-spending-of-lessard-sams-outdoor-heritage-council/" target="_blank">https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/community/forums/topic/possible-spending-of-lessard-sams-outdoor-heritage-council/</a>We all like to make fun of Minnesotans here. The people in Minneapolis St. Paul really like this Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund they voted in. Between $80 and $100 million. They are buying up northern Minnesota like crazy. Where is the best place to put a wildlife management area? Downtown metro or rural? The rural counties are very concerned about their tax base. <a href="https://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2010/10/08/state-buying-land-county-property-tax" target="_blank">https://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2010/10/08/state-buying-land-county-property-tax</a>Some Minnesota lawmakers are considering adopting North Dakota's No Net Gain Law.- - - Updated - - -Oh, Governor Tim Walz (D) of Minnesota was not one of the 16 Governors who sent Biden a letter condemning this 30 by 30 plan. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was. She could be the very first female President.</blockquote>
