Logan Darrow Clements will be on Central Jersey 1450 AMs Loud & Clear to discuss eminent domain Saturday afternoon at 4:15 PM Eastern time. The broadcast will stream live at www.wctcam.com .
When Mr. Clements last visited Piscataway, NJ, he attended a street fair. His purpose: To ask Mayor Brian C. Wahler why he is using eminent domain to take away a family farm from its rightful owners - the Halpers.
"We found Mayor Wahler and started questioning him. He walked away. We followed him and kept questioning him. Within a few moments police officers confronted us. The mayor kept walking away and I kept asking him questions. He stopped again and I asked him once more why he was taking the Halper's farm. Wahler's answer was that the farm was being taken for "open spaces". When I indicated that a farm is already an open space he walked off again.
"Now a large group of police officers surrounded my two cameramen and myself. The police formed a circle around us and demanded our identification papers. We refused."
The Halper Family is scheduled to be evicted from their family farm in Piscataway on Monday, July 10th at 3 pm. Mr. Clements will discuss his efforts in organizing an outdoor Woodstock-type concert and camp-out there.
Thor Solberg owns a private airport in Readington, N.J., which could soon be taken by eminent domain using the logic of the Kelo ruling. Solberg's Airport, which was built by his father, hosts one of the largest hot air balloon festivals on the East Coast. The Lost Liberty Airport is the latest project by Logan Darrow Clements to fight eminent domain abuse. New Hampshire statute XXXIX chapter 423 allows any town in New Hampshire to seize David Souter's land in Weare, N.H. or Stephen Breyer's land in Plainfield, N.H. for the creation of an airport. Solberg: "If the government takes my airport by eminent domain I am ready, willing and able to run the Lost Liberty Airports in New Hampshire."

Flew over and into Solberg Airport many times in the 60s,early 70s. A fine airport and the Solberg VOR was on the airport, too.
This emminent domain thingy has gone too far.
