LAS VEGAS — A year after a tense standoff between a Nevada rancher’s armed supporters and federal land agents, Cliven Bundy is hosting a barbecue and celebration to mark the event that vaulted him into tea party stardom.
Bundy said Friday he’s got 2,000 buns and all the beef people can eat ready for the three-day reunion beginning Friday.
He’s billing it as a liberty celebration on and around his property on the Virgin River near Bunkerville.
That’s the site where Bundy supporters made what he has characterized as a constitutional stand against federal management of state lands.
The federal Bureau of Land Management says Bundy still owes more than $1 million in unpaid fees for allowing his cattle to graze in the protected Gold Butte area 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
