It looks like a taking to me. The state should buy the land if it wants it. But, like you, perhaps an exception could be made considering those who support tyrannical laws are the ones affected.

It appears that the taking already took place; the easements have been there all along, but only now has the government decided to enforce them.

Correct. I didn't know that when I made the comment. Don't believe they have any case at all to prevent access.

Connecticut is another story. The state has a history of town beaches and now a court has ruled anyone in the stae should have access. If people from New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford start using beaches in Madison and Greenwich, property values will dive just as taxes rise to cope with the influx.

2trievers...how's it going in CT? Any effects from this yet?
