The land in question over Bundy is owned by the state not the BLM either. I am not aware of the BLM being able to own anything. Are they not oversight? Both of these deals are offensive.
The whole country, in fact the entire free world, is living with the result of an uninformed electorate.
In the 8th paragraph from the bottom, it says "Commissioners approved the deal", meaning county commissioners.
You are right, the BLM doesn't own any land. The land is owned by the federal govt and the BLM administers/manages the land
The agencies that manage the federal lands like BLM and Forest service are called land agencies.
The state also owns land within the state, but not Bundy's land. The counties own land within the state, but not Bundy's land.
BLM is oversight and land management/ The Federal Govt (maybe via the Dept of the Interior) owns these Nevada lands. 60% of Nevada

The majority of public lands in the United States are held in trust for the American people by the federal government and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the United States National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, or the Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior, or the United States Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture. Other federal agencies that manage public lands include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States Department of Defense, which includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.[4]
I heard Mr. Bundy on Hannity’s radio program Friday say specifically that he paid the fees for the land to the state because they own it. Now you say differently. But I heard Bundy.
