If you have had problems with Feds, Park personel or even BLM in Alaska you need to contact Sen.Con Bunde in Anchorage and tell him your story. He is investigating the Feds over running states rights. They have been plying some real Gestapo agent tactics and attitudes! "Official egos" are getting to be the norm it seems!

I fought the same guys in YC NP a few years ago and Don Young was a real help as well.
Sorry to hear they are at it again but will be sure to keep an eye out this spring.

These guys would also want to know about this:

State of Alaska, Citizens Advisory Commission on Federal Areas
907-374-3737

This group was resurrected in the past year to serve as a "watchdog" over what the Feds are up to on lands in Alaska. It was a pretty active commission in the past until State funding dried up and it was disbanded. It's back again, but who knows for how long.

I recently had an Inconvience with with the U.S.F.S. Law Enforcement in P.W.S.. Officer (ego) was the main problem. They are not allowed common sense any more. The youngsters try to make themselves a Big Name, wasting the court's & citizen's time writeing B/S tickets.
Then fail to apear

I've been told of "attitude problems" with the feds in ANWR as well. I've never had a problem with them there but a friend has. My impression is that their attitude is that they own the land. Bear in Fairbanks

It is not only in AK. Iam a inholder (one that own lands inside federal lands).

They have like to act as if the personaly own the land and the tax payers do not.

A lot of it is who is in charge of the of the park forest ect at the time.

During the Clinton years lots of greenies were put in the service and they really are nasty to deal with they would like to see no one on or useing the land.

Iam sure that during next 4 years we well see lots of nasty things happen.

You are correct. One of Pres. Bush's worst mistakes was not replacing B.J Clitons people in the different agencies. The FWS is a good example.
They will now come out of the closet and do their thing, which is try to keep the ordinary folks out of "Their Property."
