For those of you within striking range of Santa Barbara on Tuesday, April 14, Jeff Benedict, the author of Little Pink House – A True Story of Defiance and Courage (Grand Central Publishing 2009) (available from Amazon here) will be speaking at the Community Leaders Forum from 5-7pm in the Loggia Ballroom at the Biltmore Santa Barbara.
Little Pink House is the book about the infamous Supreme Court eminent domain decision Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005). The book has been reviewed in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal among other places. Robert S. Poliner, the Connecticut Ombudsman for Property Rights also reviewed the book, which we reprinted here.
Dana Berliner from the Institute for Justice — and one of the attorneys who represented Susette Kelo — will be on the panel.
I just happen to be fortunate enough to be in the neighborhood that day, so will be there. If you are there stop by and say hello. If you can’t be there, check back in since I will be posting a report.
