John McClaughry: Martyrs to the Clean Water Act

Editor’s note: This commentary is by John McClaughry, the vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute.

All of them were dragged into years-long battles with the federal government – notably the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency – over making their own land more productive.
