Cliff residents might lose homes to save endangered beetles – washingtonpost.com.

You have to read it to believe it. Environmental madness run amok. Beetles over families in O’Malley’s Maryland. Lusby residents above the cliffs face continuing erosion and the potential loss of their homes and the state will not allow cliff repairs to save the homes because a BEETLE needs the cliff face to live.

This is simply madness.

Thanks to Larry Hogan who alerted us all to this on FaceBook:

“Larry Hogan Environmental regulation run wild in Maryland! 80 Calvert County familes risk losing their homes, because O’Malley’s DNR officials would rather save the beetles, and the beetles love the eroding cliffs the homes are dangling from? O’Malley official says they “try to accomodate the wishes of the landowner but, we can’t …do it at the expense of the beetles”. What about the endangered people who own the property?”

The audio and video for the meeting aired Tuesday, March 10 on Comcast channel 6 was out of synch. The most bizarre thing. Were we watching the real meeting or an edited version?
