They almost got it right... Although the Alabama law that the governor signed yesterday would prohibit such eminent-domain seizures, it contains an exception that would permit takeovers of blighted properties that could be turned over to private interests -- a provision that critics call a loophole for future abuses

I guess it depends on what your definition of "blighted" is. Or rather what a local government would call "blighted". That's why known liars should never hold any kind of public office.
