.The government says it faces compensation claims involving 10,000 properties in 30 states, possibly topping $100 million. .
Then shut down the fucking trails and give the land back to its rightful owners! The government shouldn't be playing Santa Claus with my money. If we as a country want to spend $100 million on trails, then fine... So long as we've had a chance to vote on it and we understand that stuff like this doesn't come for free. Want open space? Fine. Vote on it as a community and then compensate the affected landowners fairly. You don't just go in and take something to give it to someone else then break your arm patting yourself on the back at how altruistic and 'green' you are by providing 'free' trails.

More Govenment bullshit.
