More eminent domain abuse
In LA, officials are taking land from a sporting goods store to build proposed 15.5-acre retail and residential project. Again, the powers that be are taking private land from private individuals under the threat of force or lawsuit to provide benefit to other private individuals. That does not pass the public good test.
Meanwhile, in Normal, Illinois, the powers that be are taking private property to build a hotel and convention center. Again, not passing the public good test.
And the powers that be elsewhere are taking one man’s parking lot to make renovations to a hotel.
