Consider returning Malhuer to owners

Perhaps we should take a serious look at Ammon Bundy’s proposal to return public lands to those who had them before the federal government stepped in and took control.

But last I heard, the Burns Paiute tribe has not requested a desire to take back the land on which the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge sits.

But it is probably better that Bundy and his armed white group agitate for change rather than the Paiute, because lord knows what kind of response they would have gotten.
