Additional News re King County Proposed Septic System Ordinance Changes!

The King County Department of Health has "pushed back" presenting its code changes to the King County Board of Health.  CAPR has had concerns and complaints about both the proposed code and the process of OSS Ordinance changes that have provided a rocky road for citizens seeking to remain involved with a clear understanding of what is proposed. That being said, the comments below outlining our concerns with the Ordinance or code remain valid and still need to be presented to the county!

From King County Department of Health:

"Updated timeline for OSS code revisions

Hello from the King County On-site Sewage System (OSS) Program team!  

American Stewards of Liberty warns us of the United States Department of Agriculture is preparing policy to implement the Sustains Act.  This will monetize our "Natural Processes" and establish ownership of those processes!  

Please read this American Stewards of Liberty current Issue which describes the process and the bill, why it is harmful to all Americans, and why comment is needed.  This is not a formal rule-making comment period, but rather an agency "information gathering" period.  

The New Civil Liberties Alliance has gained a huge win in protecting property owners and others from Agencies wielding judicial deference against Americans, returning due process to the rule of law to court decisions!  

"“Today’s decision vindicates the rule of law. By ending Chevron deference, the Court has taken a major step to shut down unlawful power grabs by federal agencies and to preserve the separation of powers. Going forward, judges will be charged with interpreting the law faithfully, impartially, and independently, without deference to the government. This is a win for individual liberty and the Constitution.”
— Roman Martinez, Latham & Watkins partner who delivered oral argument in the Relentless case"
