Here’s what we’ve been reading today:
- There Goes the Neighborhood: A Fight Over Defining “Blight” – the Wall Street Journal focuses on the blight issue, which in most jurisdictions is a case of the tail wagging the dog: if the government wants your property, it’s “blighted.”
- From the Florida Bar Journal, Eminent Domain: Identifying Issues in Damages for the General Practitioner, by Carlos A. Kelly.
- Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network’s Where We Live show has posted a mp3 of an interview with Jeff Benedict, author of “Little Pink House,” the book about Kelo v. City of New London. More about the book here.
- Eminent Domain Through the Back Door from Reason, about eminent domain abuse in “the cradle of the modern civil rights movement,” Montgomery, Alabama.
