If this town is really trying to seize a private farm through eminent domain for something as trivial as a golf course & recreation center, then personally I will NEVER visit Coatesville or patronize any business there. Just for the record, I do some business in se Pa. and visit there fairly often. I will avoid Coatesville like the plague from now on.

I am not a big fan of eminent domain but I can understand it's use to get land for hospitals, roads etc. I even am willing to use eminent domain for open space preservation as long as the owners are compensated fairly and given lifetime rights to their homes/farms. But to steal land from one citizen to give to another for profit is totally un-American.

Sorry to punish any of the innocent people that live and do business in Coatesville but if they elect politicians who use the strong arm of government to punish private citizens for the benefit of a select few cronies, then I cannot and will not support that with my money.
