"This is a major victory for all those fighting for their property rights taken by the ESA," said Nancie G. Marzulla, president, Defenders of Property Rights, a legal foundation based in Washington, D.C.
"This settlement shows that if you stand up for your constitutional rights, you can win."

Bravo to JOHN TAYLOR. Taking back America one step at a time!

Ping Property Rights WIN!!

[madfly]

Thinking of your efforts. Keep up the good work!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the good news, and thanks to this brave man for fighting the good fight for all of us!

John Taylor, an American HERO !!!

Second that bravo to John Taylor. But the sad thing is, the people that go about perpetuating these unconstitutional takings suffer no consequences for their actions. If a payout is necessary to the property owner to compensate him for their acts, the taxpayers pay for it. Government lawyers, paid for by the taxpayers defend the bloodsuckers position.

I'm sure that no one got fired or probably even reprimanded.

It is a sorry state of affairs. But I am glad that this one person was vindicated and perhaps the precedent will help others.

Wonderful!

I'm so happy to hear that we actually won one for a change.

A bald eagle nest on our property stopped a freeway from being built for several years. The eagle eventually moved away, we suppose from all the traffic of enviromentalist, bird watchers & eco-freaks, sneaking around the tree trying to spot the eagle family at home. It couldn't have been anything WE did. heh heh

The government demanded that Taylor:

Contribute money to a salmon restoration plan (because bald eagles like to eat salmon)

Building two bald eagle platforms on a U.S. Army research facility

Contribute money to a bald eagle exhibit to be constructed in the U.S. Army research facility

What, the government couldn't come up with the $10,000 for this stuff? Oops, I forgot, the government would find a way to make this cost $4 million. Even so, that's pretty bad.

Curiosity question ... there are bound to be an offending environmentalist group(s) behind these USFWS actions and thus, Mr. Taylor's four years of agony. Can't these private, non-government entities be sued -- perhaps even by a local taxpayers' watchdog group?

[headsonpikes]

Bump. Hey, a small victory!

Stop Rural Cleansing Now!

[Free the USA]

Indexed to landgrab, we ought to have a few winners in that file instead of just the Government's theft of land.

[madfly]

Good question. Damn good question.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!

[madfly]

Good idea. Looking forward to adding more and more!

[sauropod]

Thx. U going to Vegas?

[sauropod]

I've been wondering about that for some time.
