When they came for California’s state parks
I didn’t say a word
When they came for Kansas”s set asides
I was worried but kept quiet
When they came for my land I gave up without a peep
as no one was there to stand beside me.

All these studies and delays- more waste of tax payer money. This is a terrible injustice for the landowners in Clarke County. Greed for land is just beginning as greed for power grows in Washington D.C. and filters out to land in Iowa!

Makes me wonder if my family farm could be next?

They are still on radar that’s for sure. The expense of fighting this will continue to grow. Decisions on whether to make improvements on homes and land will remain a struggle, like deciding to paint a room, remodel, landscape, purchase machinery, etc.

Stress is added with more years of spending money for lawyer fees, time at meetings, more letters to the editor that attempt to heap on the pressure to just give up.

Perhaps you are right, Jerry… time might help, but I believe if you asked residents of Clarke County, Page County and others, they would tell you that stress is a daily event when your home and way of life is threatened. One day, one year, four years.

This sounds like good news for the landowners, not the cause of more stress.
