<BR>
This is clarification for the issue Huffman raised that I would like to have on the agenda: It is called <B>UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES</B>. <BR>
</SPAN><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:13.5pt'>Does the Community Rights approach open the door to other initiatives where communities can assert THEIR rights which may NOT be "GOOD" and may in fact be used to <B>dismantle</B> "GOOD" existing State and Federal Laws that now protect the environment, etc.? <BR>

Think: <B>3 Strikes Initiative</B> (funded by the prison industry) and<B> Prop 13 </B>(by Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assoc. cutting taxes and leaving CA with (for one thing) one of the most underfunded school systems in the States)<BR>
These sounded "good" at the time (unless you really studied up) and yet they are really harmful.<BR>
<BR>
I struck out the Public Trust Doctrine (below) that Huffman mentioned because you have apparently already found that it is not viable for us. <BR>
<BR>
I probably can't make the call unless I can get out of a previous commitment. :-( arg. <BR>
Carrie will be my stand-in<BR>
