[News] Voters May Decide Eminent-Domain Question
The Clarion-Ledger is reporting that the House of Representatives today approved a resolution to ask voters to restrict the use eminent domain for private purposes:
Representatives today approved House Concurrent Resolution 18 to put on the Nov. 6 ballot as a referendum limiting eminent domain. The measure passed in a 116-2 vote and heads to the Senate.
A poll announced this week by ZataPulse found that a whopping 76 percent of Mississippians are against the use of eminent domain to take public property for private use (as happened with the Nissan land), so such a measure would likely be passed.
