The supreme stupidity of trying to stand up for the little guy while trying to portray the rich guy as evil is what gets me.
It is a logical paradox loop... "Dear small fry John Q Public, I listened with much empathy and sadness in my heart as your poor dumb broke ass came to our council meeting and you plead with us not to use eminent domain to take your property. But we did it anyway so go away. Too bad so sad. Guess you should have been rich enough to stop us. Sucker." Next breath, "Mr Money Pockets, How dare you have the nerve to fight us on this issue of vital importance. Cant you see what we did to those poor people was for public good? To think that you stand in the way of progress? How dare you... Oh and Mr John Q Public, we are now really sorry we took all your property for seemingly no reason. Dont blame us, blame Mr. Money Pockets." Yeah at some point the Killdozer or worse will happen when public officials act this way. |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryLess than a year after his first contact with the water district, Bennett got a local legislator (whose campaign he had supported) to sponsor a bill creating the Lazy W Conservation District, a governmental agency with standing equal to that of the TRWD, in terms of taking land for right of way. It meant that the water district couldn’t condemn his land. When an influential legislator friendly to the TRWD got that agency’s designation changed to one that gave it more power, Bennett got the Lazy W’s designation changed, too, making it again the equal of the TRWD. That standoff still has to be settled by the courts.

I like the part about the District having lakefront homes and hunting leases. "Oh, those are just shacks for workers who have to be onsite for days on end. Oh, we just lease the hunting rights so nobody is allowed to hunt there because it isnt safe for US to have the public hunting there." Bullshit. I bet you those assholes are enjoying those little perks to the max. Nepotism too. "Oh, it isnt nepotism, they started at the bottom and worked their way up." Umm, that is still nepotism.

Young people please understand this land is the only real investment and you only rent it from the state yet millions of people have died for it and the minerals and water under it. Most of these problems can be solved by money more money. After all it is your land . You bought it, you pay insurance on it and you pay taxes on it , it is yours. If they want it they need more money. It is wrong to steal land at taxable value. ED is always wrong to build a commercial tax base. Well we can make more money with your bay front property.
