RALEIGH – Kieran Shanahan, Chairman of the N. C. Property Rights Coalition, commented on the eminent domain reform legislation passed Tuesday by the North Carolina House. The legislation is aimed at preventing local governments from using eminent domain authority to take land for private economic development projects.
“The bill passed by the State House is a mere band-aid,” said Shanahan. “Legislatures come and go, and laws can easily be changed. That’s why we need a state Constitutional amendment to ensure that North Carolinians’ private property is safe from eminent domain abuse. A Constitutional amendment will give us protection that stands the test of time.”
“On behalf of the many North Carolinians who have voiced their support for our efforts in recent days, I thank the N.C. House of Representatives for taking this first step. Now, I challenge our legislators to take the next step and provide our citizens with the Constitutional protection they deserve.”
