When Coking refused to sell to Trump, the city of Atlantic City condemned her house, using the power of eminent domain. Her designated compensation was to be $251,000,[4] about one quarter of what Guccione had offered her 10 years earlier.
With the assistance of the Institute for Justice, Coking fought the local authorities, and eventually prevailed.[5] Superior Court Judge Richard Williams ruled that, because there were “no limits†on what Trump could do with the property, the plan to take Coking’s property did not meet the test of law. But Williams’ ruling did not reject the practice of using eminent domain to take private property from one individual and transferring it to another, which would eventually be upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in Kelo v. City of New London.
Oh please...then why did Trump confirm he was trying to take it via eminent domain?
Wiki is not authoritative you do know that right?
Also I’m sure Trump had nothing to do with the city condemning her house. This actually make it worse than what was explained before! Wow he will use the gov’t to condemn property to get his way. I wonder how he’ll use the IRS to go after people if he’s President.
