\nWhereas<\/strong> property owners are far more motivated to protect and improve their own property than third party government bureaucrats, and
\nWhereas<\/strong> county zoning regulations are written and enforced by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, and
\nWhereas<\/strong> government bureaucrats have the legal tools of sovereign immunity from prosecution coupled with deep pocket taxpayer dollars to ward off citizen challenges, and
\nWhereas<\/strong> zoning regulations have not delivered on their promised outcomes of improved environmental quality, increased property values, additional jobs, or a higher standard of living, and
\nWhereas<\/strong> county zoning has become a preferred tool for activists to manipulate regulatory law to impose environmental populism on citizens through measures that would never succeed at the ballot box;
\nTherefore be it resolved<\/strong> that Elbert County Republicans object to the expansion of Elbert County zoning laws.<\/p>\n
