I suspect the Court picked up on the widespread furor following Kelo and is behaving a bit better this time.
Moral of the story…. Don’t live in California!
Should be interesting to see what this California county does to cover the cost of whatever this fee was meant to offset. Perhaps the county should abandon the road and let the homeowners serviced by the road maintain it. No free lunch.
Think about how weak and ignorant American citizens are.
