Alesi studying eminent domain
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
by Fernando Diaz
NY State Sen. James Alesi is touring the state holding public forums to study eminent domain in order to discuss "broad legislation that could protect property owners but also serve as a strong development tool."
Legislators in Albany have already proposed some bills in response to the ruling, but "it's a much bigger issue than just taking homes," said Alesi, adding that the bills that have been introduced aren't broad enough to adopt statewide.
Alesi said he would take the feedback that comes out of the meetings back to Albany and begin work on a bill that "could be handled easily before the start of the next legislative session in January."
