Developers are lusting after us
Emdo Speak Out, 3/27/05: A new feature on Eminent Domain Watch where readers can submit their stories and opinions about eminent domain abuse.
Kathy Scruggs, Boyton Beach, FL:
...every day, all over the US, the government is allowing lands and private property to be taken, not for some true "public purpose," but to raise more tax dollars, so that wages and benefits of those who work with or for the various government agencies can grow and assure them of future health care and retirement benefits that few of us in private enterprise can ever hope for. Meanwhile our seniors and minorities are thrown away like so much debris because our homes are "undervalued". Where do these people go? Our city commissioner recently suggested building 'affordable' housing on an old city dump for goodness sake!
