Kelo Update: An Outrageous Handoff in LA

Filed under: Economy, Taxes & Government — TBlumer @ 1:27 pm

S.O.B. Alliance member Large Bill (additional HT to Atlas Shrugs) points to a delayed Kelo effect case in Los Angeles that is an outrage.

In a nutshell, a furniture company was worn down legally in an eminent-domain proceeding, where LA County claimed to be planning to build a new animal shelter. But now the County wants to sell the property ….. to another furniture company! And it appears that political contributions may have been involved in making this betrayal occur.

Read the whole article, go to Large Bill for his thoughts, and catch my more detailed comment there.
