By John C. Street, 9/8/2009 - Today, there is land aplenty for the buffalo to roam, for eagles to soar and for those of us who cling to hunting and fishing as a sacred way of life.

Town of New London, Connecticut, there has been heightened attention paid to the Constitution’s protection of private property rights.

[...]BILL NUMBER: SB 60 / VETOED DATE: 09/30/2008 / To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 60 without my signature.
[...]The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors is preparing to issue a water moratorium in South County on well drilling and new construction water hook ups. This action is a direct result of successful litigation that eliminated the Pajaro Valley’s illegal tax imposed on farmers for the water withdrawn from their own wells. The water agency now owes tens of millions in reimbursement that it cannot pay.
