You nailed it.
In many rural communities, the feds have meetings, only the greenies are invited or find out about them. They usually want to close down trails or access. People will not starve, they ignore the regulations.
A few years back we had two fed officers that were harassing locals with safety checks, heavy handed tactics, ect. After several incidents of guns being pointed at locals, locals that refused to stop their boats mid river; ensuing fights, ect; Gov, Senators, and our representative became involved. The fed officers were fired or moved outta Ak. Alaska has been experiencing such federal behavior since Jimmy Carter; comes and goes with Dem administrations.
