MAY 2000 - REPUBLICAN PARTY OF ALASKA PASSES RESOLUTION AGAINST CARA

RUSKIN, Reporter, Anchorage Daily
News (Alaska) - GOP TURNS ITS BACK ON YOUNG, State Party members Oppose
Land Measure - The Republican Party of Alaska adopted a resolution at its state
convention Saturday opposing the grandest political achievement of
Alaska's Republican congressman, Don Young. A letter circulated to
convention delegates said, "CARA goes against the heart and soul of
what it means to be a Republican..." |
--------- NOTE: information below this point has not been revised since the demise of CARA after the 9-11 attacks on the Twin Towers in 2002 ----------
NO LANDOWNER PROTECTIONS IN YOUNG-MILLER CARA -- The overwhelming consensus of national property rights protection groups today is that Young-Miller CARA contains NO effective protection against land acquisition abuses by government agencies. Complaints about "smoke and mirrors" -- the reality is that for the past two years Young has generated the biggest smokescreen of all by claiming CARA "protections" that don't exist.
The following is from the expanded version of CONSERVATION DOLLARS NOT WORTH THE PRICE (Fairbanks Daily News Miner - 7/4/00)
SO-CALLED PRIVATE PROPERTY PROTECTIONS
Advocates claim CARA provides many "private property protections" that do not exist today.
These so-called "protections" affect only 15 percent of CARA money. Even then, they are of little use. Boise property rights consultant Fred Kelly Grant points out how CARA has been written so a fast scanner of the bill will notice certain catchy property rights protection phrases like, "just compensation", "willing seller requirement", and "nothing...shall authorize...property be taken" etc.
But close reading of the bill reveals these phrases are without operative effect or value. Sadly, it suggests that their inclusion by the bill sponsors amounts to a willful attempt to deceive the public. www.stewardsoftherange.org/fatal_flaws.htm updated for the Senate version of CARA: www.stewardsoftherange.org/fatal_flawsII.htm.
Just a few of the many others in agreement are: Property Rights Foundation of America (Stony Creek, NY), Competitive Enterprise Institute, American Lands Rights Association, Paragon Foundation, Heartland Institute, Heritage Foundation.
