GA headed for regulatory trouble

....

The real risk to us is at the local level, namely the disappearance of
airports and the gradual shrinking of the GA base of services, driving
up costs. The recent Kelo decision scares me a lot. I've heard legal
experts take both sides, but my gut instinct is that this will
encourage municipalities to stage a lot more eminent domain raids on
unpopular properties like small airports,

Thousands of properties nationwide are facing the threat of
eminent domain for private development, and many more projects are
in the planning stages. In its first-ever nationwide study Public
Power, Private Gain, the Institute for Justice documented more
than 10,000 instances of threatened or actual condemnation for
private development nationwide ...

If our government continues to permit public takings for private use,
get ready for more Kansas City style protests.

I like this New Hampshire protest:

Icebound:
Holy cow! I agree with you that SCOTUS eminent domain decision was
horrendous. A direct contradiction to the Fifth Amendment. The idea of
targeting Souter's house is a delicious irony, and I'm happy that this is
happening in my home state of New Hampshire ("Live Free or Die").

Here's a link to a site where you can lodge an electronic protest.

Of course, we anti-GA folks plan to use this horrible court decision to
our advantage....

And you sir are part of the problem, not the solution.

On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip
Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New
Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a
hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr.
Souter's home.


What goes around, comes around. :-)

Great idea!!! I hope it comes to pass, except for the part about
Ayn Rand's book shudder.

O'Connor must have been so p'ed-off at her colleagues that she has just
