LOL. I don’t knowif Florida should have done this, but it was for alleged agricultural safety, not to line the pockets of cronies.
Freepers went to Florida in 2002 to protest Gov. Bush taking family farms for his enviro friends!
Is it true that Trump offered to pay the old lady who refuse to leave at a much higher price for the property she own, but when Trump lost the law suit, the old lady left anyway and sold her property at a much lower price
True... we got to remember that not even Donald has advocated being this horrific.
If you really want to talk the crony talk, the tax revenue and political donations really can’t be separated out of this one either. Nobody goes into this kind of thing like Plato.
I live in Florida - it was a valiant effort to save Florida citrus...
So what was the outcome — did the canker die off, what happened to the canker?
And why, at any rate, is the state fighting the property owners. If it was worth it to do this, then it should be worth it to pay the owners.
The only reasonable application of eminent domain is to compel Dem voters to give all their assets up to the highest non-Dem bidder in order to help pay off the national debt. This application of eminent domain may be necessary if we ever wish to take political power away from the liberals.
¿Yeb?’s entire career should be used to determine how the usage of eminent domain should be restricted.
Now how are you going to get God to see it on this level? Just curious.
Yes she was offered millions, wanted more, and the house eventually sold for 530k at auction.
Trump live under a very lucky star. She actually help Trump avoid a very bad investment
One story about it is that her son, who lived elsewhere, kept prodding for more for the property. The deal Donald offered included buying the place and offering housing for life in a Trump property, incidentally.
Bush has an Eminent Domain problem????
Let’s not forget that other brilliant Bush, 43, wrote a Friend of the Court Appeal to the supreme court that sided with the eventual outcome of Kelo vs. New London Ct..
Every Bush is a curse upon this land.
Every Bush should go back to their motherland Prussia.
Trump credits her for that!
Jebbie, Jebbie, Jebbie. :-)
As the irony would have it, it did.
This should not be viewed so much as how wise or unwise she or Donald was, but as God watching over Donald Trump. For him to use it as an occasion of symbolic vengeance (IF he is, and I don’t know the details) would be wrong.
The impetus comes from “spare the rod, spoil the child”. Leftists have ruined the nation, so they must repay. Restrict the usage of eminent domain to apply only to those who cause debt, and only allow the seized assets to be used to pay off the national debt, and you can simultaneously follow the Scriptural mandate and stop government from growing too large.
I think it was quite a few years later she sold out, but yes that’s it.
I think it’ fair to ask those making an issue of it if they support the Keystone Pipeline, which would use eminent domain to take land from owners and give it to a private company. How is that different than Kelo?
