Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations EPA Power grab, gone!

Picture perfect example of what I've been talking about. the majority opinion here seems to be one of "let the states handle things, not the fed government. The EPA has no business meddling in state affairs. The constitution has provision for state's rights. If you don't like your state's regs, move."

Well guess what...from reading the article, it isn't the EPA that is in conflict with this family, it is their state. And the law that is at the crux of all the hardship, was passed in 1975. These folks acknowledge owning the land since 1967, so they were surely aware of what its passage might hold for the future. Not a peep for 42 years, now they're all up in arms over the law, crying foul.

And since they received no satisfaction at the state level, what did they do? They took their case to the Supreme Court, that's what. How about that...differing levels of government, moving up the chain, letting the system work as intended.
