If it passes, people should by property adjacent to these idiots and put up a structure to keep them from using their own land. See how they would like them apples.

Something to keep in mind when looking at any bill is that the bill sponsors may have no intention of voting for it themselves. One of the senators listed on this particular bill has stated at our NDGOP district meetings that he will carry any bill from a constituent that takes the time to write a bill that is important to them, regardless whether the senator supports it. That is noble in my opinion in a representative republic.

In other words, if you have a really dumb idea that is important to you, and you take the time to have the bill drafted, you can have your dumb idea discussed in a legislative committee. Your representative has made sure your dumb voice is heard, and hopefully no part of your dumb idea makes it out of committee.

Email, text or talk to your representatives. That's the only way it will ever work for you and the only way to know where they stand because the list of bill sponsors may not tell the whole story.

Don't know if this is the case here but sure hope it is as this bill is a dumb idea.

imagine the amount of wasted time during session this would cause if every legislator did this... Many already want to push for never ending legislature, proposing BS bills would just make this seem more reasonable.

Don't have to imagine, it is reality.

Record number of bills the last 2 sessions.. But as you stated.. If a constituent brought forth a bill, and their representative, who represents them brought it forth, he's doing his job as silly as some of these bills may be.

They are in bismarck to represent the people. And the wonderful thing about the legislature is we have every opportunity have our voices heard through it, and even at the lower level like district meetings.

There are buildings on Mallard Island, so part of that would be off limits. The outhouse at the boat landing west of Totten Trail would put a chunk of public land off limits. These are public lands that were set up with hunting as a use for them.
