Hundreds of California jobs at risk because of government regulations

August 11, 2017 | By PACIFIC LEGAL FOUNDATION

Employees of Duarte Nursery in Modesto, California talk about why their jobs are important and at risk because of runaway regulations in government agencies. When the nursery plowed a wheat field in Tehama, Calif. to plant wheat in 2012, the Army Corps of Engineers stepped in and halted work on the project. The Army Corps said that John Duarte, president of the nursery, had disrupted land that was a navigable waterway under the waters of the United States. The company now is facing millions in fines, which would inherently be felt most by it’s dedicated employees.
