For a wonder, no editorializing from me here, though the opportunities are certainly there. Just a brief click over to Reuters, for a quick story about a guy who has had some trouble getting a real estate project off the ground.
Seems this fellow, way back in the 1980s, was working on a development project and felt that he needed to cut through an Idaho creek to do so - to part the waters, if you will. A district court ordered him to stop, and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday upheld that order, meaning that this guy will get eighteen months in prison for each of three convictions (by the district court) of violating the Clean Water Act.
Four and a half years in prison for parting the waters...and the guy’s name?
Charles Moses.
