Are you unaware of the “new and improved” eminent domain law that the SC upheld a year or so ago. Eminent domain use to mean “for the public good” like, roads and dams.
Eminent domain today means they take your house, because a corporation wants to build a mall, and it’s good for the community because you can get more taxes out of the mall.
That was NOT what eminent domain was originally written for.

So tell me, do you support the local government taking your house, at a very low price and giving the property for commercial use so they can make more money off those taxes?

You really showed your butt for no reason, at least keep the conversation in line with the facts...

Barbour, vetoed the legislation so he could take property and give it to car companies to build plants. To increase the tax base. Hardly a public works road or dam.

I never said I was againest eminent domain, I’m againest the new and improved eminent domain.
