Eminent domain protests occur across the U.S.:
- Dallas area saw eminent domain protesters shut down transportation proposals, and city councils vote ceremoniously vote against proposals.
- The Dakotas held parades and Farm-Aid style concerts to shut down Keystone XL pipeline, which is now in litigation for eminent domain usage.
- It’s been campaign fodder in Iowa, Tarrant County Water Board, and more…
- This week protesters in Connecticut, the same state that brought us Kelo, forced Stratford Town Council to vote against expanding eminent domain power.
Eminent Domain is not popular. It’s not popular even when your state or city needs to grow.
Eminent Domain is like broccoli flavored cupcakes- no one is buying it. Stratford Star
