Before everyone goes off half-cocked, like Boortz has done here, you may want to review an email from Kent Cagle to a poster on this forum from a previous thread on this very subject. Not to downplay the abuses of imminent domain that are occurring around the country, but there is more info to this story that Boortz is telling:

The problem here is that Cagle and all who agree with him are quibbling over irrelevant details. Deborah Hodges may be mind numbingly stupid and greedy, but that doesn't change the fact that Cagle wants to seize her property and give it to another private party. Eminent domain was never meant for that and it is an abuse of power.

Just because the aristocrats are making nice offers today when stealing your property does not guarantee that they will make good offers tomorrow.

I offered the reply from Cagle as an addition to Boortz's info. It does add some necessary detail. Nonetheless, even from Cagle's email, it is apparent that the road and parking lot aspects of this seizure are a done deal, and all they are left trying to resolve are the aspects related to her giving up her land for Costco, lest she have a 4 lane highway 12 feet from her front door.
