This story becomes important because in the battle for property rights in California, the League of California Cities has played the role of the Greeks, laying seige to our efforts to reform the current system. Now, the League is trying to lure us into complacency with their own ‘Trojan Horse’ — a ballot measure that looks good until you really look inside of it…
After narrowly defeating Proposition 90, the eminent domain measure that appeared on last November’s ballot, the League of California Cities, an organization that represents the political interests of local government, has introduced an eminent domain measure that could appear on the June 2008 ballot.
While the League would like you to believe that they are responding to public outcry related to the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial Kelo v. New London decision, a decision allowing government to profit by seizing private property from unwilling sellers and giving it to another, this is not their real motivation but it is the story they are telling their constituents – you and me.
