I am sorry. The impression is that Whitmer is totally bought. I live in MN, where we have a very well bought Walz. Do you think your community can do anything to stop it?

I don't know. Some folks have been promoting the idea of turning the land into a state park because Calhoun County is the only county without a state park. But we feel pretty helpless, and I am heartbroken. I've lived here 36 years and loved every minute of it. We don't have money for a retainer for a law firm, and anyway, how do you fight the State of Michigan and Ford Motor Company?

Well my very poor county fought NY State and we won. It’s a long shot but not impossible.

Thank you, Sunnydaze! You have so encouraged me! We are going to try to fight by creating a nonprofit to establish a state park or at least take half of the 2000 acres for a park/recreational area.

Oh yaaay! It’s a hard road but not impossible. We took on the state of oregon 10 years ago and against all odds, w/o any money or even the name of a lawyer….we won! You can too! I’m thrilled you’re going for it! May God go before you all and pave the way to victory! 😊

You won’t know unless you give it your best shot! Rally other sane-minded citizens to at least attempt to stop it!

I've actually thought about trying to reach Tucker Carlson to see if he's interested in doing a segment on it. It has many of the elements he's interested in: loss of farmland, the shysters in the green energy business, elites taking power from the "little guy," China insinuating itself into our country ever deeper, etc.

I’m so sorry. It’s just sickening!

@Runemasque. Sucks to be you in Minnefornia. Spent my entire life, 60+ years, there and it was a joy but the last 10- 20 years things have gone SO woke. The Pro Act was just the latest disgusting move. Moved to Sconie 3 years ago and hope the voters here can hold off the woke. Come on over to WI!

I’m in Wisconsin too. I dearly miss the good parts of Minnesota but the Woke government is destroying what was once a beautiful state.

Sounds like a possible pandemic move for you with that timing. We came to MN after our livelihood was disappeared by the lockdowns. It is the necessary location now. At least we went from urban to rural, which is quite an improvement, especially since we ran with a liberal crowd, who mostly shunned us when we didn't cover, hide, and shoot ourselves like the good people.
