Message | We'd prefer to vote yes on the eminent domain being allowed, but keep the victim-determined compensation. That should make sure that eminent domain is extremely rare, used only in absolute emergencies. |

Message | "Are you planning on voting yes on one and no on the other?" No, but due to previous statements, I assumed that GA would. In any case, I think the two are separate, related issues. Article 1 determines who has the right to dispose of the property(the government vs. the individual). Article 2 determines which value is used and whether article 1 will be abused often or not. |
