Politians do a great many things they have no right to do!

And in many places, such as Caliphonia, where the voting public is sound asleep, they get away with it! That is an important contributing reason as to why I left the state - the're nuts out there! Just won't live and let live - you must instead goose step to ...... nevermind.

Mark my words, if we were to bet on it, I'd be collecting within the next three to four years. The railroads will be paying - being required to do so anytime an improvement on railroad property gets its local permits. As to the FEDs, due to the obvious politics of it they will cave, as they already did in the case of sound walls. Nambi Pambi Nimby politics rule.
