Mega-corporations like GE, stand to make a wad

mercury. So when Utility Watch demands we stop the coal-fired
plant, that's music to GE's mega-corporate ears.

Survey Results Tabulated on Property Rights
Concerns
“The most glaring and most troubling
result of the whole survey revealed that 98 percent of respondents
thought that threats against their private property rights would
increase in the future, while 95 percent agreed that government
and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) – often for environmental
reasons – take an adversarial position against property
owners and their rights."

while others as a part of the request are readily found. Other

made available a 4 inch stack of e-mails that were used to trash
Assemblyman Jim Colver, which were apparently retrieved for
that purpose without any difficulty.
