***UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT REJECTS APPEAL OF GUNDERSON CASE***

***UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DENIES LAKEFRONT OWNERS’ PEITION FOR CERTIORARI – UPHOLDS PUBLIC BEACH RIGHTS!***

***LONG BEACH COMMUNITY ACTION ALERT***

Great news!! Yesterday, the United States Supreme Court refused to take review of the Indiana Supreme Court decision that the State of Indiana holds the Indiana beaches in trust for the benefit of the public below the ordinary high watermark. After five years of litigation, the public is now clearly permitted to use and enjoy the beach without interference from the beachfront property owners below the ordinary high watermark, in accordance with the public trust doctrine.

***IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED***

Our IMMEDIATE PRIORITY is to support Senator Tallian's Senate Bill 553 that would codify our public right to use the beach for a wide variety of recreational uses. Each of us must EMAIL our state senators asking them to SUPPORT SENATOR TALLIAN’S SB 553!!! Please include “SUPPORT SB 553” as the subject line of emails!

►TELL THE SENATORS LISTED BELOW (Note - these senators are mostly different from those we asked you to contact last week):

YOU SUPPORT INDIANA CITIZENS’ RIGHT TO USE FOR ALL TRADITIONAL USES THE STATE OWNED PUBLIC BEACHES HELD IN TRUST FOR ALL CITIZENS! DESCRIBE HOW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY USE THE BEACH AND FOR HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN DOING SO (e.g, FOR GENERATIONS, NUMBER OF YEARS, ETC)!!! THE INDIANA SUPREME COURT SAID THE INDIANA GENERAL ASSEMBLY SHOULD DEFINE RECREATIONAL USES OF THE INDIANA LAKESHORE BELOW THE ORDINARY HIGH WATER MARK! THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT SB 553 DOES!!

►KEY SENATORS TO CONTACT TODAY:

Mike Bohacek/ 8-R (Michiana) (317) 232-9541 senator.bohacek@iga.in.gov (NOTE: LOCAL SENATOR BOHACEK has not expressed a firm position on pending SB 553 – PLEASE REQUEST HE AFFIRM HIS SUPPORT AND ASK YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO DO THE SAME!) Eric Bassler / R-39 senator.bassler@iga.in.gov Jon Ford / R-38 senator.ford@iga.in.gov Jim Merritt / R-31 senator.merritt@iga.in.gov Mark Messmer / R-48 senator.messmer@iga.in.gov Ryan Mishler / R-9 senator.mishler@iga.in.gov Greg Walker / R-41 senator.walker@iga.in.gov R.
