The Buckeye Institute’s Robert Alt and our client Eric Flannery, Navy veteran and co-owner of The Big Board, join Matt Kibbe on his podcast, Kibbe on Liberty, to discuss Eric’s case against the District of Columbia, which has suspended Eric’s operating and liquor licenses for refusing to enforce the city’s contrived mandate that the city itself has already ended.;
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Knight v. Nashville urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to stop the city of Nashville, Tennessee from extorting payments from its citizens to build sidewalks in the city in return for granting building permits for work completely unrelated to sidewalks. “In Dolan v. City of Tigard, the U.S. Supreme Court was clear, city governments cannot impose conditions on citizens—such as forcing citizens to pay to build sidewalks—to receive a building permit that is unrelated to the permit itself.”
