There was a time when we Americans declared our independence from a sovereign in part because “he has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their substance.” Today, thanks in great part to environmental legislation, it is difficult to do anything anywhere without first getting multiple permits, performing numerous impact studies and submitting to endlessly repeated inspections, assessments and determinations. And it is quite possibly about to get much worse.
