From Sewer Expansion to Six-Figure Sanctions

$106,000 sanctions dispute fuels broader debate over government authority and the public’s right to challenge local decisions in court
A lawsuit challenging Greenville County’s expansion of the Metropolitan Sewer Subdistrict has moved from a debate over planning law to a six-figure dispute over whether the plaintiffs should be ordered to pay the County’s legal fees.
The underlying case was dismissed last fall. What remains unresolved is whether the lawsuit was merely unsuccessful or rises to the level of legal frivolity.
The distinction now carries a potential price tag of $106,164.48.

Do You Think Property Rights Exist Now in America? Well, Think Again
- Details
- By Kathleen Marquardt - American Policy Center
There is no way I can possibly count all the ways our property is being stolen from us by our so-called government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. But we are losing our property rights at breakneck speed and soon we will be property if we don’t put a stop to this iniquitous thievery.
Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard B. Sanders sagely and succinctly wrote: “Property in a thing consists not merely in its ownership and possession, but in the unrestricted right of use, enjoyment, and disposal. Anything which destroys any of the elements of property, to that extent, destroys the property itself. The substantial value of property lies in its use. If the right of use be denied, the value of the property is annihilated and ownership is rendered a barren right.” That should go without saying.

The New York Times declined to print this letter to the editor responding to their editorial on marijuana.
We commend the @nytimes for acknowledging the problems created by easy access to recreational marijuana in their recent piece.We agree THC potency should be limited, not marketed like candy, and not sold as medicine without evidence of efficacy. Pregnant and nursing mothers should avoid marijuana entirely.
Impact Fee STUDY: Clearing Up Miscommunication
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
I’ve seen a lot of confusion circulating since the Planning & Development Committee vote on the impact fee study. I want to address that directly and transparently, because misunderstandings shouldn’t drive the narrative on something this important.
Even a few of my colleagues, for some reason in full council, tried to summarize the committee’s decision by saying that Council “voted against impact fees” and that’s simply not accurate in any way whatsoever.
Here’s what actually happened, and why I think my vote made sense once you see the full picture:
Secure Our Future: Advocate for the SAVE Act
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Eagle Forum joined dozens of like-minded organizations on a coalition letter urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to use the rules and processes that govern the U.S. Senate to pass the SAVE America Act (S. 3752). Engaging in a “talking” filibuster would allow open dialogue and debate on the merits of the SAVE America Act and would permit the bill to be passed by a simple majority of 51 votes. This can be done without changing the Senate rules by forcing the opponents to filibuster the legislation.
GOP Abandoning Pro-Life Policies May Hand Democrats Midterm Victory, Data Shows

- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
With midterm elections looming, the GOP has focused much attention on maintaining its razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives. While President Donald Trump and his allies have pushed for Republican-controlled states to aggressively redistrict and net the GOP extra House seats, a new survey is suggesting that the efforts may be for nought if the Trump administration and congressional Republicans don’t act decisively to regulate the remote prescription and shipping of the abortion drug mifepristone.
