[QUOTE="Allen, post: 103356, member: 389"] gst, I have indeed read the article. Personally, only thing that crossed my mind was "what a bunch of pompous asses" with respect to the editors. Under what authority do they have the right to tell anyone, or any govt agency, what they have or have not forfeited? In general I think they are poorly informed and not in keeping with the good of the general public. "Authority" is something left for the courts to decide, not the editors of the Tribune. The permanent structures are in a different classification if I remember correctly because they are up and out of the flood pool. Those locations that are in the flood pool elevation are the ones being required to be REMOVABLE in case of a flood. The leaseholders generally failed to do that during the 2009 flood event, which is what leads to garbage ending up in the water, including propane tanks. Note, I still don't support the presence of the permanent structures either. I see no reason why they should be allowed exclusive access to property I, as a taxpayer, am a part owner. All the while we taxpayers have subsidized the HELL out of their recreational property. Recently, Reclamation had an economic study done on the value of those places and at least they will get to start paying more realistic lease rates, so the taxpayer subsidies seems to be a little less of a concern in the future. Hey, I think I am probably with you on the side of the easement. If Roth doesn't want an easement, then the public and Reclamation can go pound sand. Well, unless and until a case could be made that there exists a strong enough need for the public to warrant condemnation and the taking of his land. I seriously doubt that case could be made though. All the same, Roth doesn't get to put his stamp of ownership of the road so he can basically have a federally funded boat ramp available to his campers. Screw that! [/QUOTE]
