From the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.  Here's an excerpt:

The Pacific Legal Foundation, a property rights advocacy legal group that helped represent Great Northwest in court, also assisted a 2006 attempt by the Fairbanks North Star Borough to challenge federal wetland regulation at a proposed park site north of the city.

"This is a major victory for the principle that there are limits on federal regulators’ power over private property," Damien Schiff, a lawyer for the foundation, said in a statement Thursday.
