He has also alleged that Davy made a windfall profit of about â¬25 million, and deprived him and his company of the best price when it sold the bond on his behalf.

JORDAN VALLEY â An Oregon family wants to convince a federal appeals court that its ranchâs âgrazing preferenceâ was canceled contrary to the U.S. Bureau of Land Managementâs own regulations.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on Monday, May 3, in the lawsuit, which raises questions about the interaction between private lands and public grazing allotments.
After losing a permit to graze on 30,000 acres of BLM allotments in nearby Idaho, ranchers Mike and Linda Hanley leased their private âbase propertyâ in Jordan Valley to their daughter and son-in-law, Martha and John Corrigan.
When the Corrigans applied for a new grazing permit â citing the private ranchâs âgrazing preferenceâ to the allotments â the BLM rejected the request in 2017.

The project is install new pedestrian ramps in 18 locations at nine intersections around the city, along with installing a new sidewalk in front of the new Legacy Park Elementary School on Fifth Street. At the March 22 meeting, Coun. Mel Van Betuw felt that the city should go with the low bid from A&B Concrete, even though the bid was incomplete. He noted that the City has used this firm before and they know their work, so they should be able to make an exception to the tender requirements. Some councillors were inclined to agree, but a concern was expressed that the city could look bad to bidding companies if they showed favouritism to a local company, and the city could be held legally liable if they didn’t hold to their own policy for awarding tenders.
