The Attorney General's and DEP Commissioner's boilerplate public statements evaded the nature of this case as an unconstitutional taking of private property without compensation, for the benefit of special interest viro pressure groups collaborating with the state. To call this "saving" land is a dishonest corruption of language by those who want to take other people's property for their own purposes. Homes are built for people who want to live there and who are willing to pay for it. Despite the clamoring from viro activists, there is nothing evil about that. Those who wanted the land preserved, with homeowners kept out, should have offered to pay what the land was worth to the owners. Instead they tried to seize it with a regulatory taking overriding the town permits, created a 17 year nightmare of litigation and "mediation" benefitting only lawyers, and now the taxpayers are being forced to pay millions more for the land -- sold under ceaseless political pressure and economic strangulation against the owners. This is worse than the eminent domain abuse for which NJ is so notorious. They are not "saving" anything, which terminology is only spin used to cover the actual nature of their actions. Only viro pressure groups and lawyers benefit from such unethical tactics coercing people out of their own property. This ideologically inspired corruption in the state should be cleaned out permanently.
