Collin County Judge Keith Self Is Ready for the "Federal War on Texas"

Last month, Collin County Judge Keith Self received what in normal times would be an unremarkable letter from the Bureau of Land Management.

The agency's Oklahoma office, the letter explains, is beginning an environmental impact study on about 40,000 acres in and around Lake Lavon. It's part of a larger, multi-state review, done in collaboration with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, of land and mineral deposits.

The BLM, &quot i)n the spirit of government to government consultation and cooperation," then asks the Self and Collin County Commissioners Court to become a "Cooperating Agency" to ease the feds' planning efforts.

Not everyone in Collin County is so sure they want to cooperate with the federal government, especially the newly reviled BLM.
