Fighting the BLM
http://jackidaily.com/2016/01/08/fighting-the-blm/
Texans on the Red River awaken one day to find that the BLM has declared their ranches to be within the Red River and under BLM control. Landowners organize to fight for the land that has been theirs for generations, and TPPs Rob Henneke is leading the fight.
THAT is what stinking rich folks DO.
I have absolutely NO problem with that.
It was worth it, just to give Mr. 100 MPH pitcher a place to SHINE. :o)
eminent domain is like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.
The story back then was George W. Bush owned part of the team with friends and sold it that is how he got rich and went on to other riches. I don’t have a problem with either one. When I was a small child in Atlanta, The airport took our home for the runway, it is just life...Jeb stepped off on this one when his own family has used it...
Well if so, they should not have been allowed to.
From the details it might be that the stadium was not built by the Bushes. It is deceptive if they did not build the stadium and Trump is just pointing to the fact that the stadium was built that way and the Bushes have an interest i the team.
Regardless, the fact that someone else did the wrong thing does not excuse you from doing the wrong thing. And there is no family guilt. Jeb is not W.
Trump for President.
Eminent domain, the Keystone pipeline — do you consider that a private job? Do you — do you consider that...
BUSH: I consider it a public use.
TRUMP: No — no, let me ask you, Jeb.
(BELL RINGS)
Do you consider the Keystone pipeline private?
BUSH: It’s a public use. It’s a public use.
TRUMP: Is it public or private?
BUSH: It’s a public use. TRUMP: Real — a public use?
BUSH: Yeah.
TRUMP: No, it’s a private job.
BUSH: It’s a public use.
TRUMP: It’s a private job.
BUSH: Established by the courts — federal, state courts.
TRUMP: You wouldn’t have the Keystone pipeline that you want so badly without eminent domain
George W. Bush enriched himself by eminent domain

One of the most famous eminent domain cases involved the Cowboys’ future home of Arlington, where baseball’s Texas Rangers play. At the time, future President George W. Bush was an owner.

In 1991, the team convinced local voters to approve a tax increase that helped build a new $191 million stadium. The city of Arlington used eminent domain to acquire the property from hundreds of private owners, claiming the stadium was a “public use” just like highways, schools, and government buildings.
Several property owners were lowballed, and court decisions increased their final take. The compensation for one 13-acre plot was increased from $877,000 to $5 million, for example. The city, not the team, was held responsible for making the larger payments.
The stadium clearly benefitted the Rangers’ owners more than anyone else. Bush turned his initial $600,000 investment into $15 million when the team was sold in 1999. But it has produced little of the promised economic benefit to Arlington, and there has never been a real “public use” factor aside from baseball fans’ paying their money to see games.

Boom! Too bad Trump didn’t remember that last night.
Cleveland Indians Ballpark and Cleveland Cavaliers were able to be developed by the Gateway Corporation.
Eminent domain was used to obtain a few of the parcels at to develop the Gateway complex. Our company owned significant assets nearby this site.
For the Lower Prospect area in downtown Cleveland, the amount of economic development and revitalization created were incredible and created a number of jobs. To this day, the “Gateway” district is one of the only thriving areas in Downtown Cleveland.
Without it, I am convinced that we would have lost the Cleveland Indians franchise to Tampa and all of the economic development that went along with it.
Eminent domain has to be used wisely and judiciously but the inability use eminent domain to help revitalize the inner city, is really bad for all landholders in urban areas.
Ok. Thanks Trump. Now we know the Bushes sucks AND you suck.
Trump has no clue what he is talking about here. The land in question was owned by the City of Arlington.
It’s a good reply except the Texas Rangers don’t own the stadium, it’s owned by the city of Arlington Texas. We can debate whether the government should be building the stadiums, and I don’t think they should, but it’s a clearer case of public interest than a limo parking lot for a private casino.
I don’t think this makes it OK to use government coercion to force an old lady to sell her house to make way for a casino parking lot.
Trump is pretty good at distractions, though. I’ll give him that.
