Hahah I just read the link you posted. Are you people for real ??????

How do you sleep at night worrying about complex inter-relationships designed to usurp local government ???

What a crock.

Buddy, do yourself a favor. get off your a**, stop reading stuff on the internet and go to some public meetings regarding these heritage areas and read their master plans AND THE ACTUAL LAW designating them. Then once you actually have some information besides nutcase propoganda, perhaps we can have a reasonable conversation. By the way you conveniently left out a key portion of the actual legislation

"(c) Prohibitions on the Acquisition of Real Property- The Association may not use Federal funds received under this Act to acquire real property, but may use any other source of funding, including other Federal funding, intended for the acquisition of real property. "

In other words, the Heritage Area may not use their Federal Heritage funding to buy land.

What do private property advocates have to say about National Heritage Area's?

Oh kay... Let me suggest you git offa yer a$$ and go to the PBS website and get you own copy of the Frontline program from over a decade ago called "FOR THE GOOD OF ALL."

Then git back to us and tell us how we should feel about what the NPS did to all those citizen/property owners and small businessmen of the Cayahoga Valley in northern OH!!!
