POSSIBLE IMPENDING LEGISLATION IN LA. LEGISLATURE

First of all, I HATE RUMORS! However, sometimes (and unfortunately) rumors have a way of morphing into what some accept as truth.

That being said, this post is a question about a rumor that I have recently heard banded about. That is, simply, when the La. legislature meets this year there may be legislation presented that would basically CUT OUT an UMI from any revenue from any production in their unit. In other words, if an unleased MO does not sign a lease -- they get nothing!

Does this make any sense to anyone? Can anyone (that is, someone who KNOWS what they are talking about), shed some "light" on this subject?

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
