Editor,
We need elected officials, including County Commissioners, who hold the principle of private property in the highest regard. They should understand that the right to property is essential to individual and societal freedom. James Madison said it clearly: “Government is instituted to protect property of every sort … that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man that which is his own.”
I am supporting Rory Horning in his effort to be elected to the office of County Commissioner. I am convinced that Rory will not compromise our property rights by making wrong assumptions about the role of government pertaining to our property; wrong assumptions that lead to things like the Lake County “density plan” or collective “land use planning” that violate individual private property rights.
Rory understands that in a free society, individual ownership and control of private property is paramount rather than subservient to the wishes and will of government.
Let’s work to begin restoring private property rights in Lake County. Let’s elect Rory Horning to be County Commissioner.
