California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have funded acquisition of a beach access point.
The reason for the veto? While the bill provided a means for beach access the bill precluded eminent domain.
Why does Governor Brown say the state needs Eminent Domain for this beach access issue?
- Having the option of eminent domain was the intent of the author
- The state should maintain the option of eminent domain to “public access to beaches and parks is a “core value to this state and must be protected.”
What does this mean for public beach access? Back to Courts and Administrative Tribunals.
