Legislator aims 'Lucy Lawless bill' at environmental activists

JUNEAU, ALASKA — An Alaska lawmaker has introduced legislation that would
make it a felony to interfere with permitted oil and gas, timber or other
development projects.

Rep. Eric Feige is calling HB92 the "Lucy Lawless bill," after the actress
who last year boarded a Shell drill ship before it left New Zealand for the
U.S. West Coast. She and other Greenpeace activists were arrested. Lawless,
from New Zealand, is best known for her TV series, "Xena: Warrior Princess."

He said in the last few years, there has seemed to be an increasing tendency
from within the activist environmental movement to not just write letters to
the editor, attend meetings or otherwise engage in the process. "They seem
to want to take the law into their own hands," he said.

"What kind of a society are we devolving into when people think they can
just do this stuff indiscriminately without any real penalty?" he asked.
