Lake Mead property owners forced out until shutdown ends - www.ktnv.comLas Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they're being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land.
Joyce Spencer is 77-years-old and her husband Ralph is 80. They've been spending most of their time in the family ice cream store since going home isn't an option.The
Spencers never expected to be forced out of their Lake Mead home, which they've owned since the 70s, but on Thursday, a park ranger said they had 24 hours to get out.
As the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, some 60 families were given notice:
He’s one of an estimated 60 families with vacation homes along the lake who were given notice by the National Park Service earlier this week to gather their stuff and leave, according to Christie Vanover, a spokeswoman for the Lake Mead Recreational Area.

And how are you on the left still are able to keep defending this putrid, disgusting, vile, vindictive, petty, piece of crap we have in the WH do you not have one once of self respect left
The Speaker of the House wants two fairly simply understood things, two things that, it is quite apparent, the president and the senate majority leader do not want:Of course, the story reads:
'The Lake Mead properties are considered vacation homes; one of the lease requirements to own a plot is people must have an alternative residence.'
But why let stuff like that get in the way of a fun burst of outrage? John Boner could fix this today with a simple vote. But he won't because he wants something....anything.
This is insane....forcing people out of THEIR property because of the Democrats shut down of government.
They barricaded a private Inn in VA from doing business, they barricaded Mt. Vernon, a privately owned property now they are kicking seniors out into the street....WTF.
I am so glad to see that most of the people in the US arent falling for the ole...its the Republicans fault....thanks to the internet people are seeing the truth...its the friggin Democrats creating all this BS.

Toss Obamacare
End the Shutdown
DEMOCRATS BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA AND HARRY REID could end this in mere nanoseconds if they were reasonable...but no, there are sticking in there, sticking it to the American people and attempting, but failing, to stick these piles of fertilizer
:hitsfan:
on the Republicans...
Not one of the boob's better well laid plans...:hitsfan:
He who laughs first vs he who laughs last...
Actually, he doesn't seem to want that anymore. His first demand was that, second demand was a one year delay and now he's down to removing a medical device tax. Sooner or later he will settle for a strongly worded letter.
What Boner is trying to do is get legislation through that he can't do thru normal means.
Federal shutdown procedures aren't just made up as you go.
He's down to just that now? Source?

your right im sure Berry had this planed a week in advance when he decided to shut down the government
You seem little informed as to how government actually functions...Actually, he doesn't seem to want that anymore. His first demand was that, second demand was a one year delay and now he's down to removing a medical device tax. Sooner or later he will settle for a strongly worded letter.

Wow, ever notice how floods start as tiny raindrops that keep building until...No, I mean they've been around since before the man even got into politics. Some of the relevant laws passed like a freaking century ago.
It's funny how the right-wing opinions here seem to mirror Fox News so perfectly. First day it was "no big deal! I barely notice the shutdown!" Now it's "OMG deliberately making it hurtful!"
You seem little informed as to how government actually functions...
Be that as it may, if the Speaker is down to so little, as you so describe it, what is holding up the boob in chief eh? Wants to stick around a bit longer, inflict a bit more pain on an already hurting public, suffering from almost 5 years of his debilitating, enervating-- suck all the oxygen from the room--- "leader"ship?
We better hope the Speaker sticks to his guns unless we want a collapse as has never been seen here.
Wow, ever notice how floods start as tiny raindrops that keep building until...
Come on man, you gotta be able to put up better stuff than that...
And you are saying that laws on barricading people from visiting the WW2 monument maybe were made even prior to us fighting in and winning WW2?
Puh-leeeeezeeee
Uh, where are you getting your information on the House caving...???You seem to be uninformed as how negotiations function. The GOP is caving. They apparently haven't realized it yet. Why negotiate with a hostage taker when he's crumbling?
This is a House/Senate fight, with Obama the backstop that will not allow the irrational demands of the GOP stand.
So, you are saying that the park police are under the supervision of the legislative branch that makes the laws, not by the executive branch that carries out the laws?No, but procedures for which types of services remain functional and which do not have been around for ages. It's really not that difficult of a concept.
That memorial was required by law to be shut down. Congress has not authorized its operation at this time.
If only we had a wise leader who would do something for the people instead of only his party.

You means like signing a law that will allow millions to get health insurance they never could get before?

And the leglislation he is trying to counter was put there through non normal means.
