So, thanks to Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, Kennedy, Stevens and Souter, the homeowners were dispossessed for nothing. Fort Trumbull was never redeveloped. Pfizer itself bailed out of New London in 2009.

The current mayor, who was elected in 2011, has formally apologized to the Kelo plaintiffs, calling the decision a "black stain" on New London's reputation. City officials agreed to install a plaque on the heights above the Thames in memory of Margherita Cristofaro, who died during the long legal battle. It notes that she and her family "made significant contributions to the Italian-American community, sacrificing two family homes to the eminent domain process."

THAT's IT?

Were these dispossessed home owners compensated?

This creep should be tarred and feathered. He doesn’t give a rip about the owners only that he didn’t get his development. He won’t apologize, ever, for establishin the precident that all property can be siezed at the whim of a democrat developer and unelected bureaucray.
