Here is the story of Donald Trump with Eminent Domain in New Jersey. Mr. Trump was attempting to create jobs for profit in New Jersey. Almost everyone had sold to his business, except for one woman. Mr. Trump offered her 1 million dollars for her city lot and house. She refused and as Mr. Trump said, ‘I walked away’. Donald Trump tried to make an “old woman†a millionaire, but she declined, and Mr. Trump took no property from anyone. That is the story and Jeb Bush is a liar. As this story progresses, developer Carl Ichan, finally did purchase this property for 530,000 dollars. So this stupid woman, in attempting to blackmail Donald Trump for more than a million dollars, finally was stuck in selling her property to Mr. Ichan, - and she couldn’t have cared less about New Jersey and her community, - as she fled the state for California.Mr. Trump did not merely walk away, he went to his buddies in city government and asked them to take the property for him. Now he failed at that, but he did try.
Rangers stadium is owned by the city, not the team. I agree that public monies should not be used to build a stadium, but the fact that it is a public building brings it closer to the constitutional meaning of eminent domain than Trumps power grab did.
