Selling National Forest land to a church

[popeyespappy]

I can hold my nose and grudgingly accept the congress passing a bill which puts a part of national forest up for sale to the highest bidder from the general public, and it turns out that a Baptist church is the winning bidder.

I am vorciferously against the the congress passing a bill to sell a part of a national forest to a basptist church.

LoL. Well Chuck, that plan is as likely to backfire as not. Acreage in that part of the county isn’t worth all that much to begin with. My great aunt’s farm is right down the road. It is a much nicer piece of property and has been on the market for 3 years now with no takers. The property in question isn’t exactly desirable as it is pretty steeply sloped. If it sat on the market for a year or two they might get $1200-1500 an acre for it. That kind of price is assured by selling it to the church. At auction they’d be lucky to get half that.

Anyway, that’s what I was wondering. If there would be objections just because it was a church.

But its for a cemetery. If they bury them all now I could go for it!

Burial in the cemetery is free....
