I support this bill because most landowners, most developers, simply want answers. "Yes" or "no" is better than "wait until tomorrow." Once you get hung up in this regulatory nightmare of waivers and permits and permits and waivers and that body and this body, just knowing the truth and what the ultimate answer is would be better. This law defines that Federal courts have to begin hearing a case once a final answer has been given under a permit or a waiver, and allows access to the court so that the property owner will then be able to get an answer that they can live with. I support this bill. I encourage my colleagues to also support this bill to protect private property rights and give landowners and other property owners their day in Federal court.
