(CNSNews.com) –
A rural Oregon man was sentenced
Wednesday to 30 days in jail and over $1,500 in fines because he had
three reservoirs on his property to collect and use rainwater.
Gary Harrington of Eagle Point, Ore., says he plans to appeal his
conviction in Jackson County (Ore.) Circuit Court on nine misdemeanor
charges under a 1925 law for having what state water managers called
“three illegal reservoirs” on his property – and for filling the
reservoirs with rainwater and snow runoff.
“The government is bullying,” Harrington told CNSNews.com in an interview Thursday.
“They’ve just gotten to be big bullies and if you just lay over and
die and give up, that just makes them bigger bullies. So, we as
Americans, we need to stand on our constitutional rights, on our
rights as citizens and hang tough. This is a good country, we’ll
prevail,” he said.
