Video: Feds shut down 100-year-old oyster company, destroy some lives and dreams
Hot air ^

Hey, no bigs. It’s just a 100-year-old company and California’s only surviving cannery, a sustainable, family-owned operation employing 30 people. The Drakes Bay Oyster Company has been in a seven-year fight with the federal government and environmental groups over whether it’s 40-year lease would be renewed this week. The Lunny family, which owns the oyster farm, was among a group of families that sold their ranch lands to the National Parks Service in the 1970s to protect them from developers, with the understanding they would get 40-year-leases renewed in perpetuity. After buying and operating the oyster farm without incident— they were even featured as outstanding environmental stewards by the National Parks Service— the Lunnys learned in 2005 they were accused of bringing environmental damage to an area the NPS and environmentalists were anxious to designate as the nation’s first federally recognized marine wilderness.

The lesson here: Don’t trust the Federal government, even if you have something in writing.

Problem is the bureaucrats are still getting their paychecks. When it actually affects them then they’ll realize they’ve killed the golden goose.

“the nation’s first federally recognized marine wilderness.

I have been through this area. It seems like all the coastline is some type of protected area from Monterey up to this area.
This seems unnecessary. Just another attack on human activity and private enterprise.

Did they support the “wrong” person or wouldn’t they “play”?

(from the article) :” ..with the understanding ...”

PAR35~:” No contract, no sympathy.”

Even with a written contract ,” ..with the understanding ...” even if it was written into the contract doesn’t mean squat to this administration .

Look what they’ve done with the Constitution (written document)
Swore to uphold and “ defend the Constitution to the best of their ability , to enemies , both foreign and domestic,...” (bear false witness )
And then look what they have done ...
And then look at their proposed agenda ..

All bets are off ...
We dont have an administration , we have a regieme .. !
We don’t have an agenda , we have a pogram (correct spelling) !!
