| Message | We strongly oppose this proposal. We do not seize it without paying for it. We seize it and must provide compensation, compensation that intentionally has given the property owner a bargaining advantage in negotiations. If we cannot seize it at all, even after generously paying for it, we cannot build the road, the bridge, the prison, the school, or anything else, if even one property owner among the area in which the public entity is to be built is unwilling to sell, even at a price that is more than fair. Eminent domain is not theft. Thieves do not pay for what they take, and especially would never allow the owner to set the price and have to appeal to the courts if the owner is being unreasonable. |
