The state denied the petition as I understand it. They see through the ruse.

 

A ruse. Hmmmm. I can see how the state would think that. I wonder if there is another angle they can come at it. Likely not. But cool to try to think of a way.

Good thinking tho aye?

The "ruse" is if the Buffalo Chip becomes a town it can levy taxes. Then take those taxes and improve the property benefiting a single person, not his "town". He could also apply for State and Fed funding for roads and be able to seize property to build 911 access roads to his "town".

The State assumed, rightly I think, that was his plan since he tried once to get the people of Sturgis to allow by vote a road to be built and paved from the interstate to his business.

He is only out for one thing, bettering his own pocketbook.

 

I "got" the ruse. Did not know any of the details. Possibly, if the chap was not so transparent he could have pulled it off. ??

My guess, if the authorities were going to let something like this happen, it would be done in such a way that no one person would have total control or be able to use this project as their own funding.

BUT............ I understand towns can and have been For Sale. I read about it once in a desert type location with a small population. Maybe no population. It was something like for say for $300K back 2 decades ago.

So maybe.....

Might be able to ride a bit this weekend...if I can get the 2 bitches off of me...My spoiled rescued fur babies...

 

Later today I am going to do some run around. And this evening I am taking about 5 other guys to ride down the beach and hopefully see some gorgeous *** but… literally, you know thongs.

Then go to an excellent burger place for dinner.

CORRECTION-

More than a few people have questioned if the trees above are dogwoods.

I assured them (wrongly) that they were.

I have since learned that I know less about the differences between trees than the differences between Yammys, Kawa's, Suzuki's and Hondas! lol

I've learned that the trees above are a type of wild pear tree, and that most of the white blooming trees that, for decades, I have thought were dogwoods, are, in fact, either wild pear or wild plum trees.

Relatively speaking, there are very few dogwoods in our area.
