Here's What's New!!
"Prop 37" recently passed in the state of Oregon!
There, government yielded to pressure from citizens to protect the value of property owned by individual citizens. Their Legislature has decreed that if you want to control the land, you had better pay for it. We call upon our own representatives to do the same.
As Dane County moves forward in its Comprehensive Planning process we hope the State Legislators are paying attention. One very obvious shortfall: There has not been a stipulation protecting landowners from the confiscation of their property values.
From the inception of this great nation it was understood that ownership of property, whether it be land or other physical assets, must be protected.
Those of us who raise many other issues about the dangers of centralized planning feel that, at the minimum, government owes citizens this important financial security.
Before the planning goes much further, before more hearts are broken and bank accounts drained, before our historic family connections to our land are shattered, our elected officials can do the right thing. We call for the law to be named “The Wisconsin Land Value Protection Act.”
