It was about expanding government power. Who the heck cares what they do with the land? [/s] They won.
ask the folks who had there properties “stolen” for the “superconductive super colider” here in N Texas how good a deal it was for them.
Everything our bloated, oppressive government touches turns to garbage...and that includes the morons on the Supreme Court who took away property rights in Kelo.
It would be funny as hell if New London got sued for violating some EPA regulation for using the land as a dumping ground.
Welcome to the USSA, comrades.
My wages are being garnished, the state revenue is taking over $200 a week out of my paycheck. But I am a seasonal worker. They even sent documentation to my employer demanding that they seize all my assets at work.
This is in Alaska and its about the state collecting money to pay for healhtcare for my son which was taken from me by the Office of Children’s Services (OCS).
This is runway over protection, which then cascades out of control, my son who has Aspergers does need help but instead he is the excuse for several local agencies to use him for getting federal grant monies.
When the fed grants dried up they are now coming at me.
So now my job is ending for the season soon and I seriously doubt I will continue to live in Alaska anymore, I already have work lined up outside the country.
I am quite sure this is happening to many many more all across America, our wages being garnished, our asset seized, all to pay for healthcare insurance and out of control liberal over protectionism.
Give me some hope that things will change, man will do despearte and foolish acts when he is backed into a corner while his life is being stolen.
If you own a house within any planned community, incorporated town, county and State - you DO NOT OWN THE LAND, you are simply renting it!!!
There is no longer any so-called ‘Fee Simple property’ (Property law; an absolute interest in land over which the holder has complete freedom of disposition during his life).
Try planting trees, building add-ons, digging holes or putting up a fence without approval from some bureaucracy.
That's not irony, that's In Your Face
They 'progressively' flaunted the Constitution and now they're just rubbing our noses in it.
Property rights are something the government allows us — when it suits them.
Private property will not be taken except for PUBLIC USE (and with just compensation) according to the Constitution.
If they wanted a dump it would have been OK Constitutionally - the problem was they originally wanted to take it to give it to a big and influential private company - Pfizer.
