[A Strict Constructionist]

“Our “republican” governor just announced that they were buying 2000 acres right on the edge of my little town.”

Just another transfer of our money to their wealthy buddies. Party doesn’t matter only politics. OLIGARCHS ALL.

That's exactly what it is. $3 million seemed exceptionally high for 2000 acres with more than half of it being swampland so I did so digging into the tax records. I found one half acre parcel that was assessed at $18,000 two yeas ago that is assessed at $2600 today. Over the last few years this guy has bought over 3000 acres in the area at rock bottom prices and then selling it to the state at a hefty profit.

The big winner in this lottery was Domino's farms (Of Dominoe's Pizza) They're selling 54 acres at $2.275 million.

$2.275M grant will let Washtenaw County buy 54 acres of Domino's Farms land for preservation
