Personally I think they deserve a lot worse for trampling your rights, Mrs. Kelo.

Evil and pathetic.
I would have hopelessly contaminated it. Poured motor oil in the ground. Burned any trees. Sprinkled arsenic into the soil. This looting can’t be allowed. Slash and burn it behind you before you let them steal it. Fight.
I drove by there the other day. What a crime. Meanwhile, Pfizer has a huge Global R&D division right next door. Why does that not suffice for wanted property tax revenues?
Blame the voters of New London, they created the mess. They should pay to fix it.
She may have lost the battle but she won the war. she got top dollar in 06. now the city has nothing
her real victory though are that there the 40 or so states who passed laws preventing this abuse of eminent domain.
AND she shows us what one or a few Americans can do
Still undeveloped? What’s your point?
The government said it needed the land to help raise more revenue for itself! How is the government going to do it’s good work with everyone questioning them all the time!
The government is there to keep you safe and sound even from yourself!
Obey.
Don’t question.

Not knowing the specifics of this case I bet the bastards didn’t lose a single bit of their own private money in trying squandered the tax payers money on this whole mess!
NO 3,169 new jobs and NO $1.2 million a year in tax revenues ... serves those putzes on the city council right ...

this happened in our town about ten years ago... the city took away an old theatre from its new owner, who was going to refurbish it and turn some of it into condos... but the city council wanted to do it themselves... however, they took their sweet time to buy the theatre, and someone finally purchased it, only to have the city take it away by eminent domain... today we have the refurbished theatre with no one going to it... it was not market-driven... and now we have a handful of people scolding townspeople for not supporting the theatre they never asked for...
Remember when our enemies were portrayed as bad guys

I called the City of New London, and sent their City Council an E-mail, to the effect that I was glad to see this happen to them and that they deserved it.
How to balance an injustice?...1 Constitutional Amendment or 2 Write a new law allowing Eminent Domain, with a proviso that the land must be developed within 12 months, that the developer must secure a bond equal to five times the value of the property, and if the land is still undeveloped after 12 months, a default is declared, the land reverts back to the original owner, along with the Bond money, and the Bondsman can go after the developer who defaulted on the project and the municipality or county entity that declared eminent domain..um..make that bond 10 times the value of the property...
Great. These are the guys that put the goober in goobermint. “As your masters, we cannot do our job unless we have the power to steal your property JUST IN CASE we might ever want to use it.”
they forget the Bugren’s land in Bristol, too
16 equals 2/3 of 90? Must be that new math
