"New York is one of the worst states in the country in terms of legislation that protects against eminent domain," according to Bert Gall, lawyer for the Institute of Justice.
Since the Supreme Court's Kelo ruling, a moratorium on the use of eminent domain has been suggested and is being considered by Gov. Pataki. Meanwhile, state representatives have proposed legislation to reign in the use of eminent domain.
