National Heritage Areas Interfere with Private Property Rights
CAPR is opposed to the Mountains to Sound National Heritage Area. Mapping private property into an Heritage area to be managed or controlled by a private unelected, unaccountable entity will interfere with private property rights. The very idea that such an area can be created in the method applied by NHAs and the Federal Government is in itself a violation of property rights. The entity, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, decided what area and property is mapped and controlled, not individual property owners, who have not asked or voted for such control. Only the Federal Congress votes on a Heritage Area.
