senate 01/28/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to formally resolve a minor land encroachment issue involving Bethel Baptist Church by releasing the federal government's reversionary rights and transferring mineral interests in a specific parcel of state forest land in Chester County, Tennessee, to the state without additional appraisal or reviews. This will clarify ownership and support the continued public use of the land.

Mineral rights handed off quietly, but is fast-tracking this worth a closer look or just paper-shuffling?

Skipping appraisals while handing over public resources? Sounds like we're selling our future for a song.

Freeing up mineral rights without hoops means less government, more local control—exactly how it should be.

Cut the red tape, let the state handle its land—federal micromanagement isn’t always the answer.

A tiny land dispute turns into a federal giveaway—maybe we're making mountains out of 19 inches.

If it’s just 19 inches and the state pays the bills, why drag this out with endless federal reviews?

Giving away mineral rights without environmental review? That's a green light for pollution with no brakes.

Letting a church encroach and then just gifting the land feels less like justice and more like favoritism on a golden platter.

No appraisal, no fuss; the state picks up the tab—seems like a straightforward local fix wrapped in federal red tape.
