Pointer,
Back in the 90's the radical environmental groups just wrote a "study" on something and got what they wanted. Mostly, as in cases of the spotted owl, or the tortoise, they were pure BS.
It cost millions in taxpayer dollars to defend or disprove these studies in courts. But, in MANY cases, they WERE proven to be lies. (Like that is not an inherent liberal trait.)
Now, agencies at least on the local levels are more cautious about making them "prove the science" of the studies before they give them any credibility at all.
Tort reform is needed as protection against these frivolous lawsuits the radical environmentalists use like an assassin uses a gun.
In Cochise County, there is a bit of a stink currently being raised regarding "environmentalists" insinuating themselves into APPOINTED positions on boards making decisions having DIRECT bearing on water rights. Some of what's come to light denotes an arrogance, and sense of superiority that should give one pause, and mandate sober reflection on just how badly a lack of unrelenting OVERSIGHT can play out.
Watch these people, they've gotten quite a foothold.
