| Subject: On Conservation Easements |
| Like I've said in the past, the goals of these groups is to take land off the tax base and out of private control.............once the land is in a HCP, they can then sue the non-HCP neighbors for any "contamination" or other construed "habitat impact" that is coming off their lands and, through the courts, impose habitat restrictions on non-easement, non HCP lands......and given this guy's admission that "we are a program of a local government", they are using tax dollars to accomplish the removal of lands from the tax base and thus, reducing the public monies to schools and infrastructure (police, roads, etc.). To make up for this loss, the adjacent properties without restrictions have their taxes increase and thus we have a disproportionate burden on the tax paying public, i.e. the neighboring properties.........not bad for a scam artist hiding in OPM (other people's money, i.e. tax payer funding)...RF |
