Comments on: Yes, Virginia, There is Redevelopment in New London, Connecticut, But It’s Downtown, Not on the Site of the Wretched Kelo Redevelopment Project, and It’s Pursued by Private Enterprise. http://gideonstrumpet.info/?p=136 A blog on takings of property by eminent domain and inverse condemnation Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:59:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: John Burns http://gideonstrumpet.info/?p=136#comment-911 John Burns Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:22:16 +0000 http://gideonstrumpet.info/?p=136#comment-911 “Because that plan unquestionably serves a public purpose, the takings challenged here satisfy the public use requirement of the Fifth Amendment.”- KELO Do you see here any Public Purpose defined, by this Court, as to what in all blazes will ever satisfy it? When this Supreme court admitted that it had neither the authority, nor this inclination to describe for a nation what government thievery is, it has at the same time attempted to claim for itself that it still retains upon its own belated prerogative rights, and thus upon its own convenience, this other authority, to describe for a nation what government thievery is not, if, and when they then so choose to do so. Those who have now financially secured these private governments, to be in their own pockets, have succeeded, precisely because this Supreme court has suspended our peoples own authority, to this very use of our own amendments. Someone here holds a complete deck of cards, and it is not! the people. “Because that plan unquestionably serves a public purpose, the takings challenged here satisfy the public use requirement of the Fifth Amendment.”- KELO

Those darn property owners, standing up for their constitutional rights: "The 79-acre Fort Trumbull project is spearheaded by the New London Development Corporation, a quasi-public development arm of the city. NLDC selected developer Corcoran Jennison to find new tenants for the property and build 80 townhouses. Marty Jones, the president of Corcoran Jennison, said the lawsuits and delays haven't helped the project." Unfortunately it created a lot of negative impressions in the financial and larger markets because of the notoriety of the lawsuits," Jones said." http://www.wfsb.com/news/16279677/detail.html Don’t you know why the New London redevelopment failed?
