I wonder what part eminent domain played in Jeb’s brother’s
Texas Rangers baseball stadium.

what do I care? I’m not voting for Bush and I’m opposed to spending public money on professional sports stadiums or for using eminent domain to put up professional sports stadiums.

I don’t remember about the eminent domain (I think there was some), but do recall that the whole increase in the value of the team from when W’s group bought it to when they sold it, was due to the deal they got on the stadium.

(I calculated it at the time, but don’t have the figures any more.)
