You may want to highlight this on the TownCrier:

>>>Already, surveyors have been tracking down property owners, in some cases offering them $3,000 for permission to survey the land.<<<

If the government wants to build something and needs to survey an easement on your property, I kind of doubt that they need to ask your permission or pay you money to do so.


I’d hope they ask/seek permission, etc because until the eminent domain process is actually completed the property is still private and belongs to the individual.

Eminent domain is not surveying. Eminent domain isn’t even established until the surveying is done. And the surveying would be done regardless of whether eminent domain is even an issue.

I would say being paid $3,000 is very new.

Why yes. Thank you for asking. I learned from this thread that pigs actually do fly.

Let’s all vote on every social issue. For example:

We all vote on having or not having a fence. If you vote “for” the fence, you pay $5 to support our hospitals, schools, police, etc. If you vote “against”, you pay $1,000. Simple.

If you vote “for” government healthcare, you taxes go up 20%. If you vote “against”, 0%.

If you vote “against” drilling for oil, new refineries, or nuclear power, you pay $6/gallon of gas. If you vote “for”, you pay $1.

Choice, choice, choice. The left love choice. Let’s give them a choice on every issue.

Well if my ranch had river access and the Gov fenced me off it, I’d be a little more than pissed. Kinda like buying lake front or ocean front property and having the Gov put up a fence between you and it.

I think that’s part of the howl from the locals or at least some. They will have water access for cattle, agriculture etc fenced. I guess it depends upon where the fence is run in relation to the river but at some point people and animals will be blocked in order to keep illegals from coming on in.
