Speaking of hanky panky in Connecticut, I have a friend whose folks live there. She's all exercised over the use of eminent domain there. Something about a town taking a neighborhood of houses and then selling the land to developers for a shopping center, a questionable stretch of eminent domain. Have you heard anything about that?

I know a couple of years ago the State of Minnesota was selling information it had to businesses. The A.G. at the time started raising holy hell about Norwest and USBank ( this was before Norwest merged with Wells Fargo ) selling info about its customers. When it came out that the State was doing the same thing, the story died and he went on to a new crusade against an HMO.

The story died especially quickly on Minnesota Public Radio which had been having a field day with it when it became public that MPR sold its contributer lists to political candidates - all democrats.
