Another Obama success story…
The Drakes Bay Oyster Co. has been in business for 100 years.
Then came Barack Obama.
In November, the Obama Administration shut down the oyster farm. They said it was for environmental reasons.


The farm produced 40% of California oysters.

The business was ordered to close its doors this week after a federal judge denied the oyster farm’s request to overturn its eviction from Point Reyes National Seashore.

How is Obama the Point Reyes National Seashore?

 

[Katzndogz]

It is just the beginning. When obama is done we'll be like North Korea. After all theydo have a duty to end obesity. What better way than an engineered famine.

How is Obama the Point Reyes National Seashore?

can you read, the Obama ADMINISTATION

I went to your link and it looks to me like Point Reyes National Seashore did not renew the contract and they went to court and lost.

I don't see where Obama personally served them an eviction and acted as the Judge to.

In her ruling, Judge Rogers held that she had no jurisdiction to rule on whether the Interior secretary broke the APA, and even if she did, the Lunnys did not prove that he acted arbitrary or capricious, or abused his discretion, in his decision.

In tracking the history of the oyster operation in the estero, the federal judge noted that:

* the original lease given to the Johnson Oyster Co. carried a November 2012 expiration;

* that when the Lunnys moved to purchase the company in 2005 the Park Service provided him with a legal opinion from the Interior Department's that “the Park Service is mandated by the Wilderness Act, the Point Reyes Wilderness Act and its Management Policies to convert potential wilderness, i.e., the Johnson Oyster Company tract and the adjoining Estero, to wilderness status as soon as the non[-]conforming use can be eliminated," and that,

* the Park Service followed that up two months later with a letter to the Lunnys “'to reiterate our guidance to you regarding the transfer of the Johnson Oyster Company site to your family [and] . . . to ensure clarity and to avoid any misunderstanding.' Among other things, the letter stated that “[r]egarding the 2012 expiration date and the potential wilderness designation, based on our legal review, no new permits will be issued after that date."

Judge Rogers also noted that it clearly was Congress's intent to see the waters of the estero designated as official wilderness.

I may be misunderstanding you, if so my apologies.

I am reading your post that you believe President Obama had something to do with a couple not having their oyster contract renewed in California.

Congress of course is not the Obama Administration, and neither is the Judge who found in favor of the eviction.

 

[Katzndogz]

All hail obama.

This really is one of his successes. More to follow.

 

[tjvh]

I wonder what Oysters are going to cost in California? Damn... 40% is a big chunk of Oysters.

Feds To Shut Down Drake's Bay Oyster Farm

Owner of Drake's Bay said earlier this week he just wants to be a farmer


Thursday, Nov 29, 2012 | Updated 2:04 PM PST


U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Thursday said he will shut down an historic Northern California oyster farm along Point Reyes National Seashore, designating the site as a wilderness area.

Salazar said he will not renew the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. lease that expires Friday. The move will bring a close to a years-long environmental battle over the site.

"After careful consideration of the applicable law and policy, I have directed the National Park Service to allow the permit for the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. expire ... and to return the Drakes Estero to the state of wilderness that Congress designated for it in 1976,'' Salazar said in a statement.

My purpose was to talk about everyones involvement in the process, and what each branch of government does and what role each branch plays in it.

Because if you want to say The Obama Administration, with Congress backing and the Courts decision in favor of it, that would be more accurate.

These are different branches of government operating here and they all agreed with it.
