It is my understanding that the bill fails because it has not attained a majority of the Assemblymen's votes.

I have no objection to this bill, and I don't see any reason not to support it.  The Northeast should protect these ancient stone walls.  I assume the stone walls this bill is referring to are the ones made to memorialize people, is that correct?

I'm not sure what you are referring to. My bill is intended to protect walls constructed centuries ago that, at one point, demarcated boundary lines or pastures.

Once you've seen one stone wall you've seen every stone wall.  I suppose it doesn't really matter because the Northeast government doesn't have any "public" land anymore anyway.

A stone wall is more than just some historical oddity or trinket: its function is embedded within the landscape. Stone walls lose their meaning without a spatial context. The state has the responsibility to act to preserve this element of the Northeast's cultural heritage because each wall, since it is located at a unique place, has historical value.
