“We have a very serious problem with eminent domain abuse in this state. It's disappointing that the governor and the Legislature doesn't recognize that.”
Dan Wood
“Nigeria ... Garden of Eden”
Godswill Akpabio
“I have a serious problem that keeps me on the wrong side of politicians and the people who can look past their self-serving ways and concentrate on their noble deeds. I judge others and myself on what we could be instead of what we are. On what the world could be instead of what it is.”
Bobby W. Miller
“This is an enormous problem all across the country. Eminent domain is being used to take prime real estate for private development projects.”
Dana Berliner
“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.”
Ken Chalk
“With 38 states either limiting eminent domain abuses or currently in the process of doing so, this is a grassroots movement of epic proportions. There is a real opportunity to change the law, and state legislators from both parties are taking notice.”
Scott Bullock
“The idea of having a real transition period makes eminent sense, and most member states would tend to agree in theory. The problem is, can they settle on a candidate by the middle of the year? It would be a major triumph, but I'm not betting the farm on it.”
