... to formally regulate the government's use of eminent domain to take private property for economic development projects. "It would be a very, very strict process would have to be accomplished before any private property could be taken," Barbour said Tuesday at the Capitol.It is doubtful that MS would have landed either the Nissan plant in Canton, or the Toyota plant in north MS if the land could not have been secured for these massive manufacturing projects. Whoever said Mississippi isn't 50th for no reason is correct. We had almost 100 years of single party (democrat) rule in this state. If you want to see corrupt party politics, you'll never see a better example than the Dem party in MS, unless you're looking at the Dem party in CA, NY, NJ, IL, etc, etc, etc.
So MS could not lure them in without abusing individual liberty? The medicine is as bad as the cure.
Don’t try to talk reason...
Don’t know you that this is FR??
Knee-jerk reactions based on headlines alone are all we care about here!
Off to the library with you - silly silly silly - did you actually waste your time on research?
Discussion? Reason? Context?
Balderdash!
All we want are black and white absolutes!
Gov. Barbour, despite the fact he guided his state through the Katrina crisis like a Sherpa on a hidden goat trail, saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars, and despite how he made the incompetents over in NOLA look like, well, incompetents - despite all that Haley is now officially evil and contemptible and nothing can change that no matter what good he has ever done before or may ever do in the future, even if he does work out better EmDom rules in MS.
It is hard to beat the corruption in DC... the District of Corruption.
