IMHO, I think that the developer that wants the land should purchase for each displaced family, a home in New London with a value of a minimum of 2.2 million dollars, in excellent new or almost new condition. I think that each family should be given two brand new vehicles OF THIER CHOICE as well, and eligible for trade-in every 2 years. I think that the city exercising the law of emenent domain should have to forgive property taxes on the properties and vehicles for the rest of the lives of the residents, as well as all residents of the city that were displaced during the event, eg: adult children regardless of age when the property was acquired. All other municipal taxes such as water and sewer use for each displaced family and thier adult offspring should be paid by the private firm or corporation now occupying the family's original land in question. The city and the corporation should be responsible for hiring a reputable moving company to pack, move, unpack, and help the residents settle into their new homes. The city, in the interest of ensuring that the new homes are kept up to city standards, should be responsible for maintaining the gardens, pool(s), recreational facilities on the grounds of the homes, as well as the driveway and any cosmetic improvements that need to be done to the home to keep it well away from the "blight status" that got the first home torn down. Making all of that part of the package would have leveled the playing field just a little for all of us poor folks that don't want to give up our humble homes for a Regency and a Kohl's.
I haven't read ANYTHING speaking out against this in the paper, and I LIVE IN CONNECTICUT!!!!
Or they could just shoot the bastards.
Interesting that New London, CT is ground zero for two white hot political issues...eminent domain and base closures.
BTT!!!!!!
And just who are you proposing be shot?
About 80% of the politicians and judges.
So you are advocating the murder of hundreds of thousands of people. And which Tyrant gets to decide who Dies?
And all this rather than people just doing their civic duty and VOTING? Brilliant just brilliant.
Parts of Wikipedia are CONSTANTLY re-written and guarded by Socialists, Communists and nihilists, especially from the Peoples' Republic of Berkeley. Visit Wikipedia at your peril.
Your screen name says it all. It looks that there is absolutely nothing in your book worth fighting and dying for. Our founding fathers fought a war over far less tyranny than what is imposed on us daily.
Since when is the wholesale murder of hundreds of thousands people because you don't like their opinions something "worth fighting and dying for"? Our founding fathers did NOT take the law into their own hands in such a manner or have such thoughts.
And they did not fight a war over the actions of their OWN representative government but because they had NO representation. "We should KILL them because we don't agree" was NOT one of their slogans.
I don't believe in taking the EASY way out to avoid the far more difficult process of CONVINCING fellow citizens that our ideas are right. Such nonsense is spouted by the immature.

sounds good bump
Your numbers are way too low!
Does anyone besides me see the paradox (planned coincidence?) about how the legal industrys access to due process processes and its access of the police power of the state were COMPLETELY corrupted by TWO of the Supreme Courts decisions this past week?
First, there is the eminent domain and private property decision where due process and property rights were determined to be whatever municipalities and counties and their access to the local courts say they want it to be. The police power of the state is (already) now in place to be more forcefully used to exercise and ensure the new power given by the Supreme Court.
Now, the state/the legal industry must turn the New Londoners INTO CRIMINALS in order to remove them from their property since they say they are not moving anyway. In essence, the Supreme Court decision here is nothing more than a rubber stamp on the already existing, broken, and systemically irreparable legal system, its organic relation to counties and municipalities, and their necessary war against the REAL people.
Second, there is the refusal to hold the police power of the state responsible for failure to enforce restraining orders. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that police cannot be sued for how they enforce restraining orders, ending a lawsuit by a Colorado woman who claimed police did not do enough to prevent her estranged husband from killing her three young daughters.
What is the point in any longer paying for and seeking the filing of restraining orders?
What is the incentive, now, for property owners to pay property taxes if they can lose their property, and become labeled as criminals by the (legal industry puppet) police power of the state, anyway?
The legal industry and its glove-puppet Supreme Court is purposely putting the citizenry our country in a serious bind, with nowhere to turn. NO political leaders locally or nationally are speaking-out about the contradictions. (A county commissioners or municipal council-member's life career COULD be built on rejecting these decisions as a permanent political, philosophical, and MORAL position.)
That is why my veteran wife, who now feels she risked her life on United States democratic principals that no longer functionally exist, and I are flying our flag upside down, and are urging others to do the same for July 4.
Awaken the people whatever way you can! Its the legal industry, stupid. Expose and end black collar crime NOW, or prepare for its imperial rule. . . .

I love this http://www.freestarmedia.com/hotellostliberty2.html I think we need to do this to all 5 of those that decided against property rights.
Is there anything but RINOS and liberals left?
I dont follow news and I was wondering how many conservative members of both houses have used the soapbox to condem the SC ruling.
