Wal-Mart’s bid was defeated and there’s this, which could prevent this type of thing from happening in the future:
Legislation by Rep. Jack Venable, D-Tallassee, seeks to prevent governments from taking land through “eminent domain” to build commercial retail space.
“It would prevent municipalities from taking your home, your farm and giving it to Wal-Mart to build a new store using, as a reason for that, increasing tax revenue for the city,” Venable said.
Of course, the SCOTUS would do the right thing, this stuff wouldn’t be necessary.
