To restore lost property ownership rights. The Kelo v. New London decision turned your property ownership from alloidal title into a mere revocable leasehold.
Emminent domain has outlived it's purpose, and needs to be terminated; this is a minimum first step toward that goal.
"Emminent domain has outlived it's purpose, and needs to be terminated; this is a minimum first step toward that goal."
Emminent domain should NOT be terminated. It SHOULD be restricted to what it was originally intended.
Roads, some public facilities would be justified uses, as in history.
What needs to happen is to prevent city council's (acting as Redevelopment districts) from taking your home to put up a big box center.
I have experience with redevelopment, in two cities. My own town stopped short of using ED to take residences. Before Kelo, by several years.
Some urban redevelopment is very beneficial. Some "blight" is really bad.
It is the abuses that need to be stopped. The USSC decision was horrible. But they invited local jurisdictions to make rules.
I will absolutely vote for 90!
Thanks for the ping.
Good line. I'm going to borrow it freely!
Thanks for the ping!
We had the voters vote no on a similiar prop up here in the wine country.
The local fishwrap, the super rich vineyard liberals, the enviral group and their dumbed down voters made basically the same prop appear to be an expensive and evil prop for tax payers.
The smaller vineyard owners, ranchers, farmers and people like us were made to look like the villians. It was very scary. Anyone who believed in the rights of the property owners was portrayed as people who would destroy the beautiful valley.
I'm sure the same lies, spin and BS will be used against the state wide prop.
Thanks for the ping. It is my practice to vote NO on all bond issues, no matter what they say they're for. I will never vote to raise my own property taxes. If they want the money so bad, let them get it legitimately, by direct taxation.
