The latest potential victim of eminent domain abuse:

The City of Mansfield wants to build a 100-acre project that will include retail shops, upscale apartments and a baseball complex.

To complete the project, the city wants two acres of Wanda Allen’s property.

Again, we have a city taking from one private individual to give to another. The article contains this snippet:

There is also the important criteria of public use.

    The threat of eminent domain is one damned good reason to keep your guns.

    I fear a developer state as much as some folks fear a nanny state. The developers have far more friends in high places than the would-be social engineers do (if you exclude the Christian social engineers).

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
