coastal commission real power to find people who intentionally violate the law by denying people access to the beaches. until now they had no authority, other than the lengthy court battles and even then few resources to wage them. now the bird shifts to the property owners, which was the intent of the california voter commission when the voters established it way back in 1976. what does that mean? >> that's correct. to show that they have not gotten in the way. >> this is perfect. what is going on with the beaches here? >> you bet. you bet. that's near half-moon bay. that's where the owner has been accused of installing a locked gate to deny access. presumably he could be fined and forced to open the gates so people could go to the beaches.

they're choseden because of the ability to get it done. this is a case where the will has been worked for the public interest. zblf who is picking fights for the speakers? >> it's not so much that you pick the fight. when the speaker wants something, you want to go along with it. he can change the size of your office to campaign contributions to all kinds of things. >> that makes a lot of sense. his or her words carry more heft in leadership positions. >> not a pop ler sentiment. >> a lot of powerful individuals who would like to keep those beaches private. hefty campaign contributions. well known hollywood types. they're all saying no, no, no.
