Can the city really fine $915,000 for cutting down trees on your own property?
In this episode of The Sweet Tea Series, Ariana Guajardo sits down with Laura Beth Latimer, attorney with the Center for the American Future (CAF), to discuss how local governments across America are increasingly overstepping their authority and what citizens can do to fight back.
They dive into various cases from a California couple fined $915,000 for removing dead trees from their property to cities restricting religious gatherings in private homes and even banning people from feeding the homeless. Laura Beth explains why local government matters more than most Americans realize—and why protecting constitutional rights often starts at city hall.
