- Raisin redux: “Uncle Sam took this farmer’s raisins, and now he wants his money.” No, this isn’t the third time for the Horne case, but a new case seeking just comp in the Court of Federal Claims. Read the story from McClatchy. We’ll post the CFC’s opinion in a separate post.
- Oyster redux: remember that case about the San Francisco Bay Area oyster farm in the National Park? Here’s the latest, and update after the feds shut the farm down. “Two years after shutdown, California oyster farm remains a community hot-button.”
- “City Gets Authority to Condemn Private Kakaako Streets.” From Honolulu Civil Beat, about the latest efforts to clean up a problem of ownership of some downtown Honolulu streets. Now, eminent domain?
- “NE Supreme Court Holds Load Limit on Bridge to Property Did Not Constitute a Regulatory Taking.” From Dean Patty Salkin’s Law of the Land Blog. We’ll post this opinion in a separate post also.
