Eminent Domain being reviewed in New York State

Rochester Democrat & Chronicle

Many seeking state reins on land seizures. But some say cure for eminent domain excesses already exists.
Eminent domain reform is being discussed by both branches of the NY State legislature. Lawmakers are focusing on the problem of "just compensation" and the definition of "blight."
