It's an election year. ordsprog

It's an election year. The Commodore 64 is the computer that attracts demo programming. Would you want to be the elected official who voted against eminent domain reform?

This is something that liberals and conservatives seem to agree: to stop eminent domain abuse. The question is: When does eminent domain cross the line to eminent domain abuse? We've struggled with that.

Sen. Dave Aronberg

It's very restrictive. These are non-elected positions on this board. I don't feel that non-elected people should have the taxing power and the eminent domain power that elected people do.

I have always opposed the use of eminent domain strictly for economic development purposes. Eminent domain should be used in only the most unique of circumstances and be limited to a larger public interest.

Eminent domain is already among the most awesome powers of government, and we must do everything possible to protect the rights of private property ownership. Eminent domain should be defined as narrowly as possible so that it is restricted to truly public purposes.

All the (member) districts voted on it. Basically, we don't want another professional builder to take a business owner's property under eminent domain.

Eminent domain has been used historically very judiciously and mostly appropriately in North Carolina and other states. Our opposition is strictly based on our concern about the potential change in direction with eminent domain that the Supreme Court had opened that threatens private ownership of property.

We can sleep a little easier at night knowing a private developer will not wield the power of eminent domain. As long as the power of eminent domain remained with the state, we would be comfortable.

The major point is to protect private homeowners from eminent domain and put major hurdles in the way of the government if they want to take your house. It's going to put an awful lot of obstacles in the way of eminent domain, especially for economic development.

Rep. Michael Lawlor

It's time for Deltona to decide if they want to use eminent domain for private or public development. I support asking Deltona voters to tell us their view on eminent domain.

There's a certain percentage above fair market value that we can offer someone for their property. If they don't like the offer, eminent domain may be the only other option. We frown on the idea of eminent domain, and we've never abused it, but having it in our back pocket brings people to the bargaining table.

I think if we can avoid the use of eminent domain, we will do so. We're not crazy about going out and using the power of eminent domain, but, quite frankly, it's there to allow public bodies to acquire lands for public use.

This is the side of eminent domain that never gets written about. This is why eminent domain is needed.

If a citizen does not like the performance of an elected official, he or she votes against the official in the next election. That is the political process.

Larry Brown (1969-)

Last year he was drawing lines in the sand; this year he is looking for common ground. He needs to win back the support of Californians who voted for him in the recall election in 2003 but voted against his initiatives in the special election.
