Recent Supreme Court Ruling

The court was wrong when they said local governments should decide these matters. At issue is The Fifth Amendment that says "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

The New London case expands the public use language to now include private uses. The Supreme Court is the proper place to determine public good of local governments taking property from party A and giving it to party B if party B can pay more taxes because it is a constitutional matter.
