[CRNMC] ADDING TO AGENDA on call with Thomas Linzey Wednesday at 5:30 PM

[Meg Courtney]

Hello Shannon et al,

This is clarification for the issue Huffman raised that I would like to have on the agenda: It is called UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. 
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 dismantle "GOOD" existing State and Federal Laws that now protect the environment, etc.?   

Think: 3 Strikes Initiative (funded by the prison industry) and Prop 13 (by Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assoc. cutting taxes and leaving CA with (for one thing) one of the most underfunded school systems in the States)
These sounded "good" at the time (unless you really studied up) and yet they are really harmful.

I struck out the Public Trust Doctrine (below) that Huffman mentioned because you have apparently already found that it is not viable for us. 

I probably can't make the call unless I can get out of a previous commitment. :-( arg.  
Carrie will be my stand-in
