Hugh Hewitt’s Sunday column at Town Hall focuses on Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin. Hewitt shares what he believes is Palin’s understanding of and dealing with the Endangered Species Act and in turn how that will play out for many Americans, including property owners. Here’s two peeks at what Hewitt said.
When Sarah Palin led her state into federal court to challenge the absurd listing of the polar bear as a “threatened species†because of predictions about what might happen to the bears if what might happen to polar ice actually did happen, she took a stand that will trigger sustained applause in places and among people who are actually familiar with the workings of this extraordinarily onerous statute. As an avid outdoorswoman and conservationist, she has zero fear of environmental activists jeering about her indifference to nature. Her passion for the great outdoors will reawaken the TR tradition in the GOP and combine it with an experience in federal bureaucratic meddling with state and local governance that will put inside the Beltway a true property rights’ advocate………..
She will soon be a friend to every land-owner bedeviled by complicated federal statutes wielded by remote and uncaring federal officials, and to the local elected officials across the country who appreciate exactly what it is that she did for that decade on the Wasilla city council.
