Eminent Domain Defenders

Here come the beneficiaries of eminent domain abuses. Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin LLP is against proposed changes to Missouri law that would limit eminent domain takings. Since Blackwell Sanders bills a lot of hours to Missouri government offices this is not that surprising, of course they would be against any laws making it harder for the government to take land and buildings. In addition to Blackwell Sanders, the Tax Increment Financing Commission cries foul. Without eminent domain, the TIF money won't be able to be funneled to the rich. The TIF Commission and Blackwell Sanders are blaming the fighters of liberty, Institute for Justice, for trying to get a ballot initiative on the next statewide ballot.
