Summary
In counties all over the country, onerous rules on use of private property are proliferating.

This rule requires that landowners to set aside 65 percent of their property and keep it in its natural, vegetative state.
Also, the Sierra Nevada Conservancy clears another hurtle. The Conservancy gives unconstitutional authority to an un-elected board to regulate use of private property in 20 Sierra Nevada counties. Listen tonight for an update on this bill.

How much intrusion into our rights is tolerable? How many chains and shackles are acceptable? At what point will people stand up and say 'enough!' to losing our rights?
If you think it is bad now, wait and see how things will be if Kerry gets elected. Just wait. It will be 9 times as bad.
People, Americans have to start participating in their government and not leave all the decisions up to NGOs like the 1000 friends. Hold politicians accountable and call them on it when they don't uphold the Constitution.
Maybe it means a visit or two to the state capitol to meet with them, it likely means a lot of letters, and it most of all means meeting with your neighbors and working with them to be aware of how the government is designed to work, then asking them for help to enforce it.
When you leave everything up to corrupt politicians and NGOs funded by gosh knows how many leftist organizations, you get what is happening in WA and in states all over the nation, the slow poisoning of the American system with communist ideology and socialist laws.
I am sure Mr. McFarland has some ideas on the topic, perhaps he'll discuss them tonight. Most likely he'll ask for help too.
God help us if the Dems get back in charge. The republicans aren't much better on land rights, but the Dems would have us living in a hobbit hole.....oh, forgot, the holes are for rats that don't exist!!
FYI
Is there any detail about what size properties this would apply to? Commercial property is built edge to edge all over the country. Personal residences in city-suburban areas are usually built over this 65% rule, and leaving the alance in it's "native vegetative state" would be very interesting. Landscapers and nurserys who sell plants would be out of business overnight.
Does anyone who passes this kind of legislation every think 3 baby steps ahead???????
If you cannot back up and change any building that already exists, this creates an outright discrimination against anyone building from here forward and represents a "regulatory taking" of the value of your land.
Isn't it funny there's no listing for this talk in King County? Ron Simms for Governor, my A$$!
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
I would argue that this, on the face of it, constitutes a taking for public use. I would also argue that this violates due process.
This does not constitute a "taking" under the Constitution.
The court said so.
Hey, FL and Kat, check out the new communism in our state.
I had the same thought. And Ron Simms needs to be medicated and moved to a nursing home.
So, does the Land-Use Commissar visit your house directly? If so, find out if he likes tea.
Good question. I offer this from the Declaration of Independence:
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Are we there yet? Timothy McVeigh thought so several years ago. The rest of us are a bit more patient - and tolerant - so far...
And yet, he's perfectly willing to give public land to SHARE/WHEEL so homeless people can squat on it.
This is the same thing now going before the Pierce County Council. It is called a "Directions" package and will be devastating if passed. The problem is, that some of it has been passed by the state legislature, which means it is mandated for passage by the council. But in addition, other pieces were stuck in by environmental groups that go far beyond reason - so, which are which? It is a mess.
