Here’s what we’re reading today:
- From our colleage Anthony Della Pelle at the New Jersey Condemnation Law Blog – “When a Private Beach is Really Not Private,” about the recent spate of beach cases, including Severance v. Patterson case from Texas, and City of Long Branch v. Liu from New Jersey. Also from the NJ Condemnation Law Blog, “N.J. Supreme Court: Tenant Has Clout to Negotiate in Condemnation” about a tenant’s standing in a condemnation action.
- Steven Greenhut’s op-ed in the Orange County Register “California GOP the party of numbskulls” about California Governor Jerry Brown’s (now failed) proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies, and how “[s]ome Republicans sided with redevelopment because of their support for some favored local development projects. Others acted out of pure partisanship. Most Republicans offered lame excuses.”
- “Victory For Landowners In Klamath Water Basin Takings Case” from Marzulla Law’s recent newsletter, about the Federal Circuit’s recent opinion in Klamath Irrigation District v. United States, No. 2007-5115 (Feb. 17, 2010).
