This is the secon worse decision ever by hte supreme court, Roe V Wade is the first. Flyer, it might be a good idea to push Perry to add a law to severely restrict ED in TX.
Thought you might be interested, the New London decision leaves intact a state's right to limit its owm power of imminent domain. We here are button-poppin' proud that San Angelo's own state rep, Scott Campbell along with Frank Cort are introducing a state Constitutional Amendment to do just that. Of course, it can go nowhere without Perry's permission to add it to the special session. In that Perry is gung-ho for this super-highway corridor, I don't see him smiling on limits to state takings power.
Just so happens Gov. Perry will be in San Angelo for a 2:30 press conference today, local paper printed his long editorial on school finance reform this AM's edition. We are going to do our dead level best to get a question in asking whether he will open the session to a bill to protect homeowners' rights from well-heeled developers.
This is just so shabby, not even a fig leaf of good precedent. New London now allows cities to do at will what we would put individuals in prison for trying, calling it by its correct name, extortion.
I'll let you know if we have any luck getting the question past the stage managers. Entirely possible he comes in looking for the usual friendly reception he gets from solidly Republican Tom Green County, and lets one of us at least ask the question out loud.
