Concerning the Harmon certs;
The ALF group makes an exciting argument.
The PLF,Cato group makes a very strong if confusing argument.
And the RSA of NY and SPONY cert makes an elegant, simple, rational, and powerful argument.
Thanks for the link.

Comment on Can the government take away the right to fish? by Sos Save Our State

I should have also stated that your constitutional state rights are also measured against yours, and others constitutional federal rights. So the federal courts are going to be used to temper state rights for the protection of migratory fish.

The california constitution section 25, article 1 still gives the power to the state to set the conditions under which the different spiecies of fish may be taken. A closure of an area for the protection of spiecies is likely to survive any challenge under constitutional right, unless……the state gives a privilege to classes of fisherman, IE private companies that it doesn’t extend to individuals. So if it allowed certain companies to fish under some paid licensing or permit, but denied the public, that would be an infringement on your rights

Comment on California Tax Plan Foiled By the Law of Unintended Consequences by Mark Alpert

Interesting–the advocacy of solar power has its own unintended consequences. It reduces utility taxes. Thus, the County government wants to pass new regulations to recover that income.

Not even a little surprised at this turn of events. Keep an eye out for the news about Riverside County trying to skim 2% from all new commercial solar projects. If anyone could screw up the economics of solar photovoltaic power, Riverside County could. When our government employees do not work in a competitive environment, they fail to understand the competition for private sector dollars and how it affects the prosperity of all their constituents. And you thought the sun was free?

Clowncilman Alarcon is a scumsucker! This has nothing to do with affordable housing. “61 percent of residents are renters” The ahole simply knows where to go for the votes!! What about the huge increases in costs to run an apartment building? These cost increase way more than the CPI. Water and Power, Insurance, Plumbers, Legal Costs..THESE ALL GO UP MORE THAN 3% a year!
