It's back. Yet another initiative Proposition 98 is on the ballot masquerading as "eminent domain" reform and trying to scare people with the prospect that their homes might be "taken" by the government. Yet Proposition 98 is really about a sweeping agenda to lard up the California Constitution to end forever the ability of local governments to enact rent control or affordable housing ordinances, to set rules that set liquor store hours or to require developers to pay fees to build schools.
That is the very definition of eminent domain reform.

Liberals of course, are adamant government should have the right to take your liberty, property and pursuit of happiness anytime it wants, no questions asked.
