ND Supreme Court Decision Observes Landowner Rights

March 26, 2021March 26, 2021Marcus Larson1 Comment

There is no doubt that landowners can successfully fight and prevail against the CCJWRD’s willingness to trample on the well established property rights of landowners being injured by CCJWRD’s unrelenting misuse of government power to do the bidding of the Fargo Flood Diversion Project.

Did Oxbow, ND Just Get Thrown Under the Bus?

Levees reduce risk, they do not eliminate it. How can any property owner within Oxbow, Hickson and Bakke feel confident they won’t face mandatory FEMA flood insurance requirements -or- suffer financial losses due to inadequate free-board in the future, as the slow wheels of certification sit and spin?

The FMDA talking heads recite their script about FEMA Flood Insurance costing thousands per year without the FMDA project, yet the average price in Fargo, ND – $618.14 as of November 30, 2020. The most insane part is Fargo and Cass county encouraging growth into areas flooded in 2009.

Honestly, there are only 1 or 2 of the Fargo commissioners worthy of their station and the rest have devolved into the equivalent of squishy dog-doo to the unsuspecting bare foot.

Just to be clear, the over hyped Top 5 2020 flood currently ranks about number 26 at 28.23 feet. Meaning there have been 25 greater floods in history than Fargo’s “Top 5” Fake Flood of 2020.

Top 5 Fake Flood of 2020 grinds on. River levels and flowing water point to, yet another, hyper-embellished flood. Will history reflect Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney as one of Fargo’s most unpopular mayors, who helped bankrupt the city for a pet project and political agenda? Views: 356 Tweet
