162 Livingston Crisis
ps: Thank you for the reward of the little demon, Xiaohua was uncomfortable two days ago, special drowsiness, and you have to sleep after dinner when you come back from work, and the doctor said that it is empty, and today is better.
When Ryan said this, Zeng Gong could only pinch his nose and admit it, he couldn't go to New York and yell at old Morgan, I don't have to worry about my affairs, I want to take M16 to the drug dealer's lair desperately, doing so can only be said to be crazy, even if he counts only 70 million, if he takes down that oak forest, he will soon fill this hole.
"Ryan, you don't call because of this. Zeng Gong retracted his mind a little, and soon realized that Lane's call was not simple.
"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, there was good news and bad news, I don't know which one you want to hear?" Ryan smiled, speaking a little heavily.
"No matter what the news is, you always have to say it, pick up the important ones. Zeng Gong suddenly had a bad feeling that Ryan's news was not a good thing for him.
"Well, but you have to be calm no matter what I say for a while. Ryan took a deep breath and said in as soft a tone as he could.
"Okay, okay, I won't be angry at whatever you say, even if the federal government is ready to confiscate my property, I'll smile at the head office. Zeng Gong was a little irritated by Ryan's tone, and replied angrily.
"Was, you might have guessed it right, the federal government is going to expropriate land south of the small town of Livingston as part of Yellowstone River National Park, and the government says it will pay the original price, and I think you'll be notified later. Ryan hesitated for a moment and told Zeng Gong what he knew.
"What. You're saying the federal government is going to expropriate my land? Oh, what the hell. As you say, this is not good news. Zeng Gong was slightly stunned. was confused by the nonsensical decision of the U.S. federal government, and immediately said with a smile.
"Hmm, weren't you angry? You must know that Qinglian Ranch is not something that can be obtained for tens of millions of dollars, it is a treasure. Ryan didn't expect Zeng Gong to react like this, and cautiously asked.
"Why should I be angry, Ryan, you underestimate me too much, I don't think the good news you are saying is that the federal government is ready to withdraw the lawsuit against me. Zeng Gong shrugged his shoulders and asked strangely.
"The federal government's lawsuit was withdrawn, because this time it was a forced expropriation, so the government decided not to sue you anymore. Ryan nodded subconsciously. Explained simply.
"Hmph, withdraw the lawsuit, think about it, you can sue if you want, confiscate my land if you want to? No way, Ryan, prepare for a moment, I'm going to take the federal government to court, and I'll contact these ranchers in Livingston later, I think they'll support my decision." Zeng Gong sneered and said to Ryan. The greasy in it is obvious.
"Sue the federal government?" Ryan was stunned, although suing the government was nothing new, but he still didn't turn a corner for a while.
"That's right, although I don't know what the constitution is about. However, it stipulates that no one or government agency has the right to deprive private property. Zeng Gong took a sip of coffee lightly and said slowly.
"There's such a rule, but so what. Ryan nodded. As a lawyer, I am quite clear about the content of the Constitution, but I don't understand what Zeng Gong wants to express.
"Don't you think the federal government has violated the Constitution?" Zeng Gong said in a strange manner.
"Unconstitutional?" Ryan finally understood what Zeng Gong was going to say. As soon as he heard the news, Ryan was just in a hurry to pass it on to Zeng Gong. Without considering the deep-seated problem at all, he sighed and said, "Zeng, I know how to do it, you just wait for my good news." ”
"Huh. Zeng Gonggan laughed a few times, and then hung up the phone
"Joe, I have bad news for you. Zeng Gong put down the phone and immediately called Joe, the whole Livingston because Joe's family has lived here for generations, and the prestige is very high, even the mayor of the town does not have his prestige, and sometimes he consults Joe's opinion about the construction of the town.
"Bad news, it won't be that you won't be able to go on a wild trip in a few days, this is veritable bad news, but we can change the time temporarily. Joe had no idea that bad news was creeping up, just as suddenly as the blizzard had been a few days earlier.
"It's not that I can't go, it's that neither you nor I can go. Zeng Gong took a deep breath and said to Joe: "The federal government is preparing to forcibly expropriate our land to build a modern and elegant Yellowstone River Park next to Yellowstone Park, except for the town that is no longer expropriated, all the land south of Livingston will be annexed. ”
"What?" Before Zeng Gong could finish speaking, Joe's eyes widened and he yelled angrily, "What are those damn politicians going to do? Are their heads made of shit? ”
"Joe, this matter hasn't been finalized yet, but you're going to make a big deal out of it. Zeng Gong said worriedly, the last time the National Park Service was ready to take Zeng Gong to court, Joe was ready to organize people, but now it has ended in nothing, and his efforts have been in vain, but he didn't expect it to be a wave now.
"Ever, it's okay, we're defending our interests, even if it's the federal government? They can't cover the sky with one hand, my cousin Thompson is in Tennessee, and my brother is in Texas, the cowboy state, and they're good ranchers, and I'll let them know and let them organize people to defend our homes as well. Joe, though furious, quickly calmed down and said his plan.
Zeng Gong was slightly shocked when he heard this, yes, what are you afraid of, Qinglian Ranch is his private territory, even if Bush Jr. comes, what if he doesn't let him in, isn't he okay, Zeng Gong took a deep breath and said: "Joe, I hope your method is effective, rest assured that I will let the media in the United States and even the world know about this matter, and I want to see how the federal government ends." ”
Qiao nodded slightly, and ended the call with Zeng Gong, although Zeng Gong did not have a 100% guarantee in front of him, but he had to take precautions, and more people in Livingston knew that their homeland was about to be unkept, and the federal government was ready to forcibly take it back.
"Miss Merlin, I wonder if you heard bad news about Livingston?" Joe hurried to Livingston early the next morning to discuss what to do with Mayor Merlin.
"Bad things?" Merlin looked at Joe confusedly, not knowing what he was going to say.
"I was called out of the blue last night, and it was said that our land in Livingston was going to be forcibly repossessed by the federal government, as well as part of Bozeman, not including your town, of course. Qiao said worriedly, although he talked to Zeng Gong so impassionedly yesterday, he still didn't know the bottom of his heart in the end.
"Why?" Merlin asked with a frown, this was not good news, no matter what the impact on the town he ran was absolutely unprecedented.
According to Zeng, the federal government intends to build a Yellowstone River Park adjacent to Yellowstone, and possibly even merge with Yellowstone. Now I'm going to organize you to discuss this matter. Joe said in a low voice.
"Then what are you going to do?" Merlin's brows furrowed even tighter, if Yellowstone River Park was completed, most people in Livingston would definitely become the target of government bailouts, or leave the land where they had lived all their lives and go away, but this Jedi was not what she wanted to see, it was an unprecedented blow.
"What else can we do? Organize people to protest to the federal government, it's really not okay, and when the time comes, we'll take up arms and defend our homes, and to hell with those bullshit officials. Joe said hatefully.
"No, Joe is too reckless to do this, you wait first, this matter has not been finalized, we can't rush it, so let's do it, I have a good lawyer friend, I'll consult him first." Merlin said reassuringly.
"Okay, but I'll keep everyone informed, otherwise you'll be caught off guard when the time comes. Joe said reluctantly, a little dissatisfied with Merlin's answer. (To be continued......)
