We have to give Jeb a point for eminent domain answer- public vs private use.
Trump’s point was great. I cant pump oil out of keystone. It’s private.
“We have to give Jeb a point for eminent domain answer- public vs private use.”
Even when it’s perceived as private use, the ultimate use is public. A big business brings in more taxes than a single-family home. Atlantic City wanted this as much as Trump did.
Eminent domain is used so private developers can build high-rise apartment complexes, malls, etc. More taxes in the coffers for the community is the goal. Jeb knows this as much as anyone; playing dumb tonight is convenient for him.
No. eminent domain is used for redevelopment to improve tax base quite a bit. In fact, it is used more for that than roads.
