Cliven Bundy owes more fees to feds than all other U.S. ranchers ? combined

Scofflaw rancher Cliven Bundy owes more money to the federal government than all other ranchers combined, according to the Bureau of Land Management.

About 16,000 ranchers graze cattle on BLM lands, and the agency says 458 of them owe a combined $237,000 in delinquent grazing fees.

Bundy, on the other hand, owes the federal agency more than $1 million in past grazing fees dating back to 1993 and trespassing fees he started accruing in 1998.

...

Less than 1 percent of all other ranchers who graze on federally owned land have fees that are more than two months past due, the BLM said.

Ranchers are required to pay $1.35 per month for each cow and calf on BLM or Forest Service lands – which is far below what private owners or states charge for grazing rights.

Anyone know if this "standoff" is still going on or have the nutters gone home?
