B**g County, July 25, 2025 – Madam Amelia Cassell, the Land Administrator for B**g County, has expressed serious concerns regarding a disturbing pattern of intimidation directed at her and her team by local residents whenever the B**g County Land Authority prepares to conduct land surveys.
Madam Cassell revealed that these threatening encounters have become a significant obstacle, endangering the operations of the Land Authority. "Our safety has been compromised on numerous occasions," she stated, emphasizing her worry that such intimidation hinders the fair ex*****on of their responsibilities.
She recounted a particularly alarming incident where surveyors faced hostility from individuals questioning their intentions, asking whether they valued their lives more than the land they were surveying. "Some have even gone so far as to threaten them with violence if they proceed with the surveys," she remarked.
Despite these serious challenges, Madam Cassell encouraged the residents of B**g County to engage positively with the Land Authority regarding land issues, advocating for the use of the authority's services instead of resorting to legal action.
Her remarks were made during the second day of the ongoing B**g County council session, where the nine-member council had previously invited her to address important land issues. Following her presentation, council members urged her to take proactive measures to address various land disputes within the county.
