Yep been in the local news for awhile now.

To be honest - no one here gives a shiit, just another fat cat.

Reminds me of the story where Bill Gates used to rib his friend Murdock, that he has more wealth than he does - Murdock come back line (Bill you don't own an island) - now its Larry turn laugh

That 2% is about the sum of all Lanai beaches.

via State law all beaches are public land, so really no one can own a beach.

Here is a weird thought....if someone owns an island could that person set up his own country on that island and become independent of any state. Or does a state always own the property forever and people just think they own the land that sits on property of the state

Humm

I guess if your an American Indian, I suppose you could apply for native land rights and then govern your own like an independent state. Other wise you would own the land as a private owner but still have to abide by state laws.
