California Eminent Domain Battle Looms

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

There is an interesting coalition of politicians and voters lining up in California to propose a ballot limitation of the powers of eminent domain in their  state. They are looking to get a ballot initiative restricting local and state usage of eminent domain for private gain.

Some of the county’s predominantly left-leaning opponents of eminent domain have joined forces with a largely Republican San Jose group on a ballot drive that would restrict the taking of private land throughout the state.

Under the name Limit Eminent Domain, the group has filed a ballot measure that would prohibit local governments from taking private land for private economic benefit.

The measure — one of four eminent domain initiatives introduced for the November election — comes in response to a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year upholding a city’s authority to use eminent domain to advance a private development. Cities and states had always been able to take property for public projects such as a highway. San Francisco Examiner.
