That’s right, they abandoned one of the most fundamental constitutional protections by passing legislation on July 11-12 that retroactively strips families of mineral rights they have legally owned for generations. Lawmakers passed Act 27 while most people were either asleep or focused on legislators finally voting on an overdue state budget....]]></description><link>https://www.papropertyrights.com/post/governor-shapiro-and-pennsylvania-lawmakers-betrayed-property-owners</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5fd4ff63357ddf4dccd34b</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:24:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9383a9_9a2055a4b0824b19abb9c0248e61fa92~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator></dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sherman Powell: Powerful interests shouldn’t be allowed to take away Pennsylvanians’ property rights]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review published Sherman Powell's op-ed. He writes, "I’m a U.S. Army veteran who served two combat deployments to Iraq with the 3rd Infantry Division, in 2003 and 2005. I’m also a small business owner and a resident of Pennsylvania. I have always believed that one of the government’s most important responsibilities is protecting its citizens’ property — not taking it away.

Proctor is narrow, limited in impact, and not a broad reopening of Pennsylvania land titles derived from historical tax sales. PGC v. Proctor did not overrule Herder Spring. The starting point remains Herder Spring Hunting Club v. Keller, which held that a pre-1947 tax sale of land could extinguish a prior separated mineral interest where the land was assessed and sold as one undivided tract.
