CAPR 2012 Workshop
“The Assault on Private Property in America”
(And what you can do about it!)
Once again CAPR Legal Fund is holding a day long series of workshops on March 10, 2012 in advance of the 5th Annual CAPR Banquet, which will be held that evening. These are separate events, both open to the public as well as CAPR members. Plan to attend both!
This year’s program will present 5 high caliber speakers. We start at 9:00 with presentations on critical areas and wetlands by Steve Neugebauer (http://www.snrcompany.com/aboutus.html) and Ed Kilduff. Steve is a licensed geologist/hydrogeologist/engineering geologist who knows the real science of wetlands and debunks the myths. Even if you have heard Steve talk before, you will learn something new from his presentation. Ed Kilduff, who is a licensed geologist/hydrologist/engineering geologist as well as a geophysicist licensed in California, will also provide his knowledge and perspectives. The two will give you powerful knowledge.
Next up is nationally known speaker Randal O’Toole (http://www.cato.org/people/randal-otoole), now a Senior Fellow at the CATO Institute. O’Toole was one of the early detractors of the so-called “smart growth” which is ruining urban livability and stealing property rights.
Rosa Koire (http://www.postsustainabilityinstitute.org/board-of-directors.html), also nationally known, will follow with a discussion of U.N. Agenda 21 and how it has seeped into many facets of land-use planning and its effects on property rights (it’s where “smart growth” came from!). She is one of the most knowledgeable (and scary) speakers you will hear on this topic. Koire founded the Post Sustainability Institute and also Democrat Against U.N. Agenda 21. Serious stuff!
We will wrap up the day with a “wrap” from attorney and environmental scientist Paul Hirsch. Among other activities for the Legal Fund, Paul will be the lead attorney in CAPR’s challenge of the Jefferson Co., WA Shoreline Master Program. He will bring us up to date on legal news concerning property rights issues in Washington State.
One of the functions of the Legal Fund is education. Once again we have kept the registration cost for this event low (below cost) to get this information to as many people as possible. With lunch included, this is a real value.
The workshops will be held at the DoubleTree Guest Suites (http://doubletree1.hilton.com/en_US/dt/hotel/SEASPDT-DoubleTree-Suites-by-Hilton-Hotel-Seattle-Airport-Southcenter-Washington/index.do;jsessionid=3923DFECD04EBFED70E360FAD0ECEC4A.etc81) Hotel located at 16500 Southcenter Parkway, Seattle (actually Tukwila), WA. For more information and to register, point your browser to www.capr.us (http://www.capr.us/) and click on the “Workshops” tabs at the top of the home page. Note that only a limited number of lunches will be available to walk-ins so it is best to register online and early. And sign up for the Banquet while you’re there!
