Danger?” Lead-off speaker will be PLF attorney Timothy Sandefur, whose new
book, “Cornerstone of Liberty: Property Rights in 21st Century America,” has
just been published by the Cato Institute.

Another highlight will be a DEBATE on Proposition 90, the California
statewide initiative that would bar eminent domain for private projects and
impose other restrictions on land use regulations. David Stirling, PLF’s
vice president and a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, will
moderate the debate. Speaking in support of Proposition 90 will be
Assemblyman Ray Haynes, R-Riverside, and Loyola Law School Professor Gideon
Kanner, one of the nation’s leading authorities on property rights law. The

MacVey, and Gary Patton, executive director of the Planning and Conservation
League.

firm of Nossaman Gunther Knox & Elliot, and the Chapman University
