Can We Make it Official?

By: Mr. Wilson on May 5, 2006

City Council member Patte Newman went on the record earlier this week as opposing eminent domain abuse in the Taste of China situation. She simplified things thusly:

No honest hard-working taxpayer should ever have to live in fear of their government.

I think most Lincolnites agree. So why not make the sentiment official policy? The City Council should prohibit the (ab)use of eminent domain to steal property for private gain. Period. Can I have an amen?

I agree in principal but part of me has no problem with abusing eminent domain in order to get rid of a horrible Chinese restaurant.
