A federal judge in San Francisco heard arguments today but deferred
ruling on a bid by six conservation groups for a preliminary injunction
that would limit pumping and mowing activities at the Sharp Park Golf
Course in Pacifica.
The golf course covers part of the 417-acre Sharp Park in Pacifica.

course harm two imperiled species: the San Francisco garter snake, which

Well this just makes my little police-state heart get all aflutter!. We have an un-elected agency sue the city because of the citys failure to maintain their sewer collection system, force the city into floating $50,000,000 in new bonds and pass an onerous ordinance to use police power to make us repair our sewer laterals. Mind you, not just to the property line, but all the way to the citys main, where ever that may be! Now we have a judge deciding property issues instead of the elected officials who should and this is all driven by fanatic eco-crazies looking for a fat payday for their attorneys.
Welcome to our Orwellian world.
let me guess.... your a Libertarian! Please use your own damn roads, ok?
