Many in governments of all sizes, especially here in California do not feel the individual has rights.

This thinking comes from those who have a It Takes A Village mentality to run this country.

I have dealt with easements on my ranch property from everyone, state and county government to oil and gas company pipelines.

The oil companies are the best to deal with.

The local county government seems to always deal from a threatening tone, constantly.

--The local county government seems to always deal from a threatening tone, constantly.--

I have had several dealings with properties in several states, including California. In each case, the county government has bent over backwards to be polite and non-threatening.
