Who’s next? While I understand the sentiment, I can’t believe that this is legal, even if the legislators pass it. Expect a challenge in court, as any project will be able to avoid environmental regs. This is shameful legislation from the body that passed the original Shoreline Management Act back in the 70s to protect our shores.

The state House passed HB 2814 to prevent a possible work stoppage on the 520 floating bridge project over environmental concerns. The measure would exempt the project from the state’s Shoreline Management Act, which requires a work stoppage until any lawsuit appealing the granting of an environmental permit is resolved. The bill goes to the state Senate.
