If someone steals my home under color of law, and destroys it to build a WalMart, that's personal whether they intended it to be or not. Duh.
Yeah. Go figure someone who had their property taken from them without their consent.
Oh, and yes, it's personal. Because my house (or yours) could be next.
As the designer of the "Kelo Card", I am seriously considering producing a line of cards for all occasions using the remaining homes in Fort Trumbull AND the homes of people who were instrumental in the destruction of the entire Fort Trumbull neighborhood...Reid Burdick, Gail Schwenker-Mayer, Beth Sabilia (former mayor), Peg Curtin (present mayor, councilors Rob Pero,Kevin Cavanaugh, Jane Glover, et al.
They all live in what we refer to as the "Gold Coast" which is the end of our city either on or nearest the Long Island Sound.
What do you think the chances are of their homes being taken by eminent domain?
Susette asked me to design the card for her and, frankly, I was a little bit hesitant since I'm always in trouble here in New London.
But all your comments made it well worthwhile.
Thank you.
