"The short program focuses on eminent domain in National City, California where a Community Youth Center diverting at-risk youth with its boxing program is threatened with removal by eminent domain abuse in order to install a luxury condominium development."

Where do the candidates stand on eminent domain? Especially, those who headed municipal and state governments that employed it.

[Dante3]

That is an important question they should all be asked.

National City should have declared eminent domain to build a barber shop.

Since this is California, why not build the Luxury condos and have the Community Youth Center on the bottom floor.

NEWS STORY Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas DALLAS (March 1, 2007) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Rudy's Texas-based law firm with global connections) advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties ("trade road" is four football fields wide). The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country."

>>> “Where do the candidates stand on eminent domain?” <<<

I have been wondering the very same thing! In fact two friends asked the same question yesterday. Why is ‘eminent domain’ being ignored?

[GSWarrior]

This is not the first time that National City has misused eminent domain, as the below links demonstrate.
