PENNSYLVANIA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY, APPELLEE v.
MARITIME MANAGEMENT, INC., APPELLANT
693 A.2d 592
"If a body of water is navigable, it is publicly owned and may only be regulated by the Commonwealth; ownership of the land beneath would not afford any right superior to that of the public to use the waterway."
The can't do guns either as the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Acts tells the county they can't regulate guns - period!

Someone else wrote that law suits are the problem. Someone drowns and then they sue the county becuase they own the park. Thatseems to be why this regs are made. If people would stop sueing for every little thing then we probably wouldn't have all these regs. I am not defending the Commissioners. The gun law isn't going to work if somkeone has a permit to carry so they can just throw that one out as RH has pointed out.

Fighting for good government or fighting for attention?

hmmm... last week the commissioners passed this resolution. This week - because - I forced a do-over - they tabled it based on the arguments I made.

Let me be clear that I made my arguments before they voted last week and they didn't listen to me. So what was the difference? I had to make a big deal about it.

What is it in people to question the motives of someone? Clearly I am right and would have won a legal suit to over-turn the bogus law. Why would you question me when I am fighting for the constitution and frankly common sense?

It seems that haters out there won't take things at face value and tear down people for what reason? Since you questioning my motives to do what is clearly the RIGHT THING - what are your motives for trying to undermine me? To what end?
