Oregon high court upholds property rights law, Washingtonians encouraged

The little guy wins a round: Oregon high court upholds property rights law.

Some of our neighbors to the north are also poised to take on overreaching government regulation: Washington next in property rights wars.

The battle continues, but citizens wrested some of their own land back from heavy-handed regulators today. Well, as it happens, we did our bit in 2004 when we passed Ballot Measure 37 (2004). It's taken until now for the high court to toss out a bid to block the measure -- and declare it constitutional. (Ruling here.)
