Virginia takes steps to curb eminent domain...

From yesterday's Wash Post:
___________________

Virginia House Republicans said yesterday they will offer two pieces of legislation in January to curb the government's authority to take private property from its owner and give it to developers to build private projects.

The pledge by several dozen delegates in the House Republican Caucus follows the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that a Connecticut city could use eminent domain power to seize homes in a working-class neighborhood that a developer needed for an upscale shopping, residential, office and entertainment complex.

Governments always have had the authority to seize private property for public use, such as a highway or public school, in return for what the government determines to be fair payment. But the Supreme Court ruling said governments can take property for what is not a clear public use. It said states could enact tighter laws against the practice.
