More govvy derog. Refusal means losing face, destiny instilled by forebears, and 5 million dollars.

"LAS VEGAS (AP) — The U.S. Air Force is giving an ultimatum to owners of a remote Nevada property now surrounded by a vast bombing range including the super-secret Area 51: Take a $5.2 million "last best offer" by Thursday for their property, or the government will seize it.
The answer: No, at least for now.
The owners, who trace their mining and mineral claims to the 1870s, include descendants of a couple who lost their hardscrabble mining enterprise after the Air Force moved in in the 1940s. Nuclear tests then began in 1951, their mine mill mysteriously exploded in 1954 and they ran out of money to seek reparations from the government in 1959."

I wish the government had offered me money for my property. They usually pay more than it is worth...
 
I've been involved in numerous condemnations. "For the better good". If we need to run a water line, sewer line, install a pumping station, etc. the utility will offer you a figure higher than market value. If you refuse to sell, we will take you to court and get a condemnation and you will probably take less. If that weren't the case, we would have no railroads... interstate highways... regional water systems... municipal water and sewer systems... on and on.

In this case, the area has seen a considerable amount of nuclear testing. The area is unsafe for humans and the government is offering a much higher than market value price. The people can easily go back with a counter-offer and ask that even their relocation expenses by paid.

Many have found new means of "working the system". These people will have millions of dollars come in to them to "fight the gubmint". The longer they stay and the more Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. make them out as martyrs... the more money rolls in. I would imagine there are already "Go fund me" accounts set up for their defense. Once the public has been "milked" the property owners will take their 5+ million and go buy a much better and safer place to live.
 

Thanks for the inside dirt, Dirt. We don't often get the story from people who have rubbed up against it in their daily lives.
I think its obvious here that the government is hiding those aliens in the hangar. :yoda::yoda::yoda:
