From the Governor's veto statement:

"After full consideration, I am vetoing House Bill 803... If the Mississippi Legislature had set out to devise a law to make it highly unlikely that Mississippi could attract major projects with large numbers of jobs like Nissan, Toyota, PACCAR, Stennis Space Center or facilities along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, House Bill 803 would do the trick. None of these huge job creation projects would exist in Mississippi today without the prudent, lawful use of government’s power to take private property by eminent domain."

Extremely disappointing. Liberty is nowhere in the equation here.

“Extremely disappointing. Liberty is nowhere in the equation here.”

It’s just another example of the all too common impulse of many people (Left or Right) to think (or at least pretend) that Government is just wonderful as long as *they* are the ones who make the decisions.
