WSJ - "Bike Lanes Cause Polution"

Submitted by jhill on Thu, 08/21/2008 - 20:26

The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 contained an article out of San Francisco concerning an individual who argues that building bike lanes is, in fact, causing more polution. Bob Anderson has sued in state court and has effectively stopped the implementation of San Francisco's 527 page bike plan while an environmental-impact study, which is expected to take at least another year, is completed.

Gun control arouses passions. But the Evanston City Council made the smart move in voting to modify its handgun ban. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling likely rendered Evanston's ordinance unconstitutional.

Some have argued that, because the Supreme Court case only dealt with Washington, D.C.'s ordinance, and the District of Columbia is not a state, that the reach of the decision is limited, and that the Second Amendment does not apply to the states. That's a risky position to take.
