But sometimes, instead of paying for what it wants, government decides that it can simply adopt a law that makes it impossible for a landowner to use his land. This is like telling your neighbor he can't live in his house, and then offering to buy it from him at pennies on the dollar. In order for a landowner to challenge a government regulation that takes away the value of his property, a landowner must fight a long and costly court battle. This is fine for large corporations or a few wealthy land barons. But the thought of paying lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight a court battle for your home or land is too much for the average American family.
Most people give up before they ever get started.
That's why Measure 7 is important. Measure 7 will guarantee that you are treated fairly by the government. If they want your land, that's fine, provided they pay you for it. Simple, understandable, and fair. That's what Measure 7 is all about.
