Environmental opposites

Article Abstract:

Assemblyman Keith Olberg proposed to include protection of property owners in the Endangered Species Act pursuant to his general view about constitutional protections for private property rights. This act would pose serious problems on business. Contrary to what his critics say, Olberg is also an advocate of the environmental protection movement. He believed however, that to have a relatively clean environment a country must have a sound policy. There has to be a balance between environmental protection program and protection to property rights.
