[QUOTE="gst, post: 164670, member: 373"] So lands that were taken by the govt (yes compensation was paid but how many families would have sold these lands if the govt had not said they had to) for the benefit of the public, have now been determined by that govt that there are "excess" lands that are not needed should not be allowed to be purchased by the families or heirs at "fair market value" prior to being put up for sale to the public? This bill calls for "nondiscrimination" in that the acres that are being given to the tribe should be handled in the same manner the other acres are. Remember that had these families not "agreed" to sell to the govt, these lands would have been taken and compensation may have varied greatly. Back in the day these lands were "taken" for this project there was a very different process and those owning lands were not given the protections and considerations that the courts have provided today. If the govt said they wanted your lands, you sold or paid the price. If these families are actually paying fair market value if these lands are sold, the public is getting a pretty good return on their monies [/QUOTE]
