Flying Swine alert!
There was a famous case a while back of an elderly woman who successfully fought off an attempt by the Atlantic City Casino Authority to seize her property so that Donald Trump could build a parking garage for one of his casinos.
I just finished reading Government Pirates by Don Corace.....book ticked me off to no end. I’m very very happy for the NJ home owners!
The book was a real eye opener, it’s hard to believe these things can happen here.
This is a good start. But government abuse of the eminent domain laws does and will have disastrous and long-lasting affects as long as local governments are willing to play “Property Tax Pool” with OUR property.
This is one of the mosr serious abuses of the law by the political elites and it must stop NOW!! We can’t be content to sit idly by and let the government steal our neighbor’s property just because they didn’t steal ours!! Our property could be next and, by then, it’s to late to go backwards in time and protest against them stealing our neighbor’s property.
If the property tax political elites won’t take a polite request to cease and desist, many of us have more persuasive ways of getting them to change their minds.

Oh, and it’s New Joisey, where “er” and “ur” are pronounced “oi”, and “oi” is pronounced “er”.
earn = oin
frankfurt = franfoit
hurt = hoit
oil = erl
toilet = terlet
coin = kern
You get the idea.

Yes, the homeowners did win. Now, take a look at New London's Fort Trumbull neighborhood!! What a shame!!
“Jersey City’s Frank Hague — left office more than 60 years ago but is still remembered for having a special desk drawer he could push out like a bank teller, the easier for those sitting before him to deposit their cash”
I’ve had the personal pleasure of actually seeing this desk..this desk still survives in Jersey City’s City Hall.
Sounds like the basis for another tax hike to me.
