“You're not taking property. … You're paying a fortune for that property,”

Taking is taking, if the owner is forced to give up the property. And many people get a pittance compared to what the land is worth after being developed. If eminent domain were fair, the owner would get some profit sharing from the development, or be allowed to keep title to the land.

Notice the order he places these items in:

“”Eminent domain, when it comes to jobs, roads, the public good, I think it’s a wonderful thing,””

the last item will likely be remembered by the “reader” or hearer

the first item....not as likely.

anything that allows the donnie to profit is fine by him

the public good is as far as hes concerned... The Donnie Good!

Dear Donnie

roads and dams are not casinos...

Sincerely,

M.M.

If they don’t sell, there is no development and no increase in worth.

Should the property owner get a windfall due to the developers work?
