Not a lot of time today for a long post, so there will be more details to follow. I just want to ask everyone to start paying attention to what is happening in this country with regard to property rights. Everyone by now has heard of the Kelo Decision in New London, CT, where private property is to be taken for "economic development." I have not met anyone yet who thinks that this was a good decision.
I have also heard of other instances where government is trying to take property from one private owner to give to another for the "public benifit." One such instace is in Topsham, ME. The city government is planning to take the property that a very successful Cumberland Farms has been operating on for 20 years to build a new town hall. The property is right on Main St, and is very valuable.
I plan to do more research into this, in the mean time, check out this website for info or your property rights. And pay close attention anytime your local or state government wants to take someones property. It's not just for roads anymore.
