Eminent problem

The NY Sun, Editorial

Does the recently passed House bill, dubbed "The Private Property Protection Act," have implications for Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards project?

It might. A spokesman for Forest City Ratner, Joseph DePlasco, told [The Sun] in an e-mail that the developer does not anticipate an impact on the project, although he did not respond to a message asking him to elaborate on precisely why.

Today's Sun editorial looks into how legislation meant to proscribe eminent domain abuse could play a role in Brooklyn.
