"My attorney asked me if there is any dollar amount I would take for my property. I told him, ‘no,'" he says, "My attorney said, ‘Don't be surprised if the Cabinet grants eminent domain.' He said it will be up to me to get the information to the governor to stop it."

Time for a new lawyer. 'Pod

Had a similar situation in Ohio. Seems it had to go to a vote of the people before eminent domain was an option. However, city manager decided to do it on his own.

Ended up at the Supreme Court level, and they found in favor of the property owner.

Governor Bush,

Re: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/861062/posts

I am writing on behalf of Jesse Hardy, whose story of dealing with a possible eminent domain claim I have read on Free Republic. I urge you to intercede on his behalf and ensure he is allowed to not only live out his life on his homestead, but also pass that land on to his family.

My family also owns property in Florida; specifically, Boynton Beach, Tampa, and Pompano. We will be watching the resolution of this case with interest.

Warmest regards,
