It’s been nearly two years since the federal government used the Bureau of Land Management to try and force rancher Cliven Bundy off his ancestors’ spread of land in Nevada, located just north of Las Vegas. The dispute between Bundy and the feds began more than 20 years ago when the BLM tried to strip him of “land-use rights his family spent a century earning,” reported the Las Vegas Sun in Sept. 2013.
The federal government owns 84 percent of Nevada’s land, and began enforcing taxes and fees on it nearly 150 years ago, Republican state Assemblywoman Michelle Fiore told NPR. In 1993, the BLM began charging Bundy grazing fees for his cattle that roam on 150 miles of the 500,000-acre Gold Butte region, which the federal government designated a protected habitat for the desert tortoise.
Bundy’s family owned the land long before the BLM ever existed.
