Pennsylvania town fights big coal on mining rights | U.S. | Reuters:

"Blaine Township, a community of 600 about 40 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, hopes to trigger a legal battle that could determine the rights of municipalities throughout the United States to control corporate activity...

""This illegitimate bestowal of civil and political rights upon corporations prevents the administration of laws within Blaine Township and usurps basic human and constitutional rights guaranteed to the people of Blaine Township," says the township's Corporate Rights Ordinance of 2006."

This is excellent. Go, Blaine!

Thanks, Elliott, for the link.
