WA Ping Government knows no bounds when coupled with a strong liberal majority.
We no longer own our property. They can take it at will and pay us nothing, and if we don’t pay our annual rent payment, well.. They will take it then to.
Getting more tax money for the greater good? Seems like the City is trying to stick it to the man; except the City is the man, so they’re sticking it to themselves.

Probably getting around the old guy believing he's not capable to defend himself.
Looks like a good opportunity for some young lawyer to get some fame.
Liberal dim-bulb-crats...er...dim-bulb-crooks, no doubt.
Afraid it’s gonna take Revolution II to get rid of these folks.
And I mean GET RID of them.
Please start building the guillotine - there will be plenty of volunteers to pull the handle.

Seattle is the only town in the world where I have ever seen people urinating in the gutter openly.

After the reset, we need to put “eminent domain” on the Naughty List along with “Ex Post Facto” law, “Bills of Attainder”, and “Corruption of Blood”.
Also, “Adverse Possession”, which means that if you tress pass on another’s property long enough, you can call it yours.

Can’t find the thread but I saw it a couple of years ago where the property seized through the Kelo Decision now sits vacant.
Gov’t will take organs by FORCE for Congresswomen
and their staff. BY FORCE and without consent
because of failure to pay “fines” to the Tyrant.
SCOTUS already approved it for real estate,
and for mere whim.
In other words they are simply taking it because they want it. I sure hope this doesn’t hold up in court.
40 or 50 years ago, Richmond, Va. did the same thing to the owner of a bridge. The owner charged at toll. So the first thing the govt did was double the toll.
What this really means is that there is no private property. It’s an illusion. We only think that we own something, because we have to pay taxes on it, buy insurance, maintain it, and take the financial responsibility for it.
But it’s not really ours. It belongs to the collectivity, and the USA is already 60% communist.
I have a little dilemma of my own going on here in Whatcom County. We are in the midst of a county council election which could settle the question of the approval of the coal terminal at Cherry Point.
The Republicans, who now dominate the council, are at risk of losing every seat because they have chosen to support the terminal. They rammed through the approval without allowing any discussions of the negative impacts of the terminal on residents near the terminal or along the tracks. They didn’t allow one word to be spoken against the project. Part of the problem is that the Whatcom County Republicans (and some of our state Rs, also) are too beholden to the unions, foolishly believing that if they support union issues, the unions will support Republicans.
So, as the Republicans in Whatcom county are on the verge of losing every single seat in Whatcom County, they have decided to try to bring water issues to the forefront at the last minute, claiming, and rightfully so, that Democrats plan to limit water rights in the rural areas of the county and that voters are foolish to put so much emphasis on the coal terminal.
The problem is that the Republicans support a huge daily allocation of water to the coal terminal, ahead of the water needs of the rural farmers and residents.
Who do you trust? I don’t want a coal terminal in my back yard, with huge open coal piles and no effort to control the fugitive coal dust.
