Eminent Domain - NC
Jim Black, the Democrat "leader" of the NC State House, who is holding on to his job by a thread because of FBI investigations, and who is fighting members of his own party who want to remove him, has formed a commission to "investigate" whether the state should change it's laws regarding eminent domain.
The committee is "headed up" by Reps. Bruce Goforth, D-Buncombe, and Wilma Sherrill, R-Buncombe. If you believe that sentence, you're not very familiar with the way North Carolina government works. Sherrill is a Republican and wants a constitutional amendment "that would prohibit the taking of private property "by governments in the name of economic development." Sorry, but she's a Republican, so that idea is DOA. The committee will meet, the committee will spend tons of money, and they committee will decide. Jim Black has already determined the outcome of the committee -- you see, if you disagree with his outcome, you wouldn't have made it on the committee as Democrat. That's how the Democrats in North Carolina government work. So don't look for any protections against eminent domain in North Carolina.
