Sounds like the totalitarians in the Biden administration are reinstituting enforcement of the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) Act again. Tyranny writ large.
If a farmer can be told to not grow grain on his own land, to feed his own animals, because it interferes with interstate commerce; then this should not come as a surprise.
A friend of mine in Eugene Oregon built a decorative pond in his back yard and then a few years later applied for a permit to build a backyard studio. The city claimed the back yard was a wetland.
Speaking of Eugene, Oregon: First, just about the entire Willamette Valley is a swamp. The remainder of your friend's property is merely dampish compared to his new pond.
The SCt case that held that Federal interstate commerce regulations applied to farming grain used for feed on the same farm was FDRoosevelt. John in Indy

ReplyDeleteThere's a cure for these over stepping federal bureaucrats, especially if you own a backhoe or wood chipper.
ReplyDeleteNotice they never tried to pull this kind of bullshit when Trump was pres.

No, but they constantly tried to pull it when Obama and Valarie were Preezy and Vice Preezy.
DeleteAnd your solution to this problem is spot on.
The fat ones won't fit in the woodchipper! What do I do now?!?!? Asking for a friend!

Take a meatcutter's course. Or purchase a few dingoes or hogs; sell the hogs to a slaughterhouse that supplies Chinese restaurants (just ask Pinkton.)

Second, the youngsters at The Planning Department of TheWorld'sMostProgressiveCity© were in college last week.
They have the construction experience of Black© mold..
They have less clue than a headless chicken.
They infinite authority, they have no responsibility, they thrive on pulling out TheBigBook so they can point to a reason to say 'NO!'.
Accordingly, they are best ignored.
A soft secession, without all those endless speeches and other annoying noise.

So is it really a "wetland" when it's only wet part of the year?
