Slaves don’t need oysters to eat. Marin Democrat voters should know their damn place. That is what they voted for, after all.

Great article in the Tuesday Wall Street Journal on this issue (Welcome to the Salazar Wilderness Page A17) including how the how the Park Service alleged the oyster boats were making to much noise and used a tape of jet-skis in New Jersey that they tried to pass off as made at the oyster facility. Thankfully the Lunny’s are suing the Park Service, Dept of Interior and Mr. Salazar.

lee, I think you’re right. Even though the 1980s agreement seemed to allow for normal development along Highway 101, it’s obvious from your experience that even in the places where it’s supposedly OK to build things it’s not.

“I sat and listened to the Park Service that day make the most incredible claims,” he tells National Review Online. “We hadn’t heard exaggeration,” Goodman recalls. “We’d heard things that were simply not true.”
Park Service employees committing fraud is nothing new. Do you remember when those cases where they were caught falsifying wildlife population data, in order to designate areas as vital habitats for endangered species?

mr. martel, i have a gazillion stories about the insanity of trying to build or develop anything along the 101 corridor….

mr. foster, i do not understand it myself. apparently, they were worried that the evil developers would wrangle some sort of eminent domain deal and build a tustin like development out in west marin. better to make a deal with the federal parks and lease back the land instead of, oh, leaving it to your children.

mr. martel, i used to work somewhere right along 101. some property nearby had a proposal to develop, and the owners went thru hell and back… and just gave up and sold it. another business wanted to tear down and rebuild but would have been forced to dedicate a sizable chunk of land for open space. so they just remodeled. a rebuild would have meant more jobs, bot temporary for the construction and permanent for the larger facility, plus additional tax revenue… but no, the county and all its little bergs would prefer to cut off their noses to spite there face. i was always worried they would succeed in closing down the quarry out past loch lomond.,

I find it wonderful when liberals run smack dab into the system they demanded and wind up flat on their back.
