A man’s home is his castle, or at least it would be if the government didn’t go around imprisoning people for what they do on their own property.
For most of the country’s history, it has been understood that someone could do whatever they want on their property so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else or infringe on their possessions and holdings. Indeed, this notion was one of the ideas that drove the Founding Fathers to lead their countrymen to independence in the first place.
Unfortunately, the rise of progressivism has resulted in steady expansion of the state’s power, practically giving authorities free reign to dictate how Americans should conduct themselves in their own homes. It seems that there really is nothing to small for the government to stick its nose into, as Minnesota resident Jay Nygard has so painfully learned.

Well, Minnesota does tend to vote socialist.
Another b******t story. Check out real story
Can only get services from the goverment we do not have the right to use less carbon base energy and it has to come from the goverment only.
Truth And Action is not quite being truthful with this story. My Nygard built this wind turbine in an act of defiance against the city of Orem MN and the established zoning ordinances. I’m all for property owners rights and would never buy a property subject to P&Z or a neighborhood/home owner association. If you do then you have to expect to abide by the associated rules and regulations. Me Nygard decided to ignore them and then fight them. Ultimately he lost. He wasn’t sentenced to prison for building an illegal wind turbine. He was sentenced to prison for contempt of court.
This is why we need to purge and drain the swamp of all the liberals…they are the ones that are creating this mess with socialism!
Mn is run by liberal morons…
This is a very small portion of the story, as usual for click bait sites. He went to jail for contempt of court not for building the turbine.
Take the time to find the whole truth and don’t fall for the clickbait. This article only tells you about 15% of the truth.
The EPA had absolutely nothing to do with this. When you build something in violation of the existing zoning laws you should expect trouble, just like when you break any law.
Preston Currey Dianne Wing David Oneal need to check into this one a little more. Very slanted.
