Local and state governments have to invent ways of getting MORE TAX REVENUE...that is what drives Kelo!!
We need to drain the swamp and kill the government-growing, money-devouring alligators!!
Then Kelos won't happen.
its not just tax revnues - the politicos personally profit from this. in long branch NJ, the politicos are sitting on the operating boards of the condo development companies, while at the same time using the government's apparatus to seize homes near the ocean.
