I'm just going to post these facts and ask all of you to comment on it. Particularly you, Kevin Brown. This from the Coaster, 06/28/06: New Jersey should enact a moratorium on eminent domain, Asbury Park City Councilman James Keady said at a rally held at city hall on Friday. Keady said in Asbury Park the city council must have the courage to stand up to Larry Fishman, the chief executive officer of Asbury Partners, the city's redeveloper, and tell him won't allow him to take residents property from them against their will. "Very generally, no properties should be taken against the will of the owners," Keady said. This from Life Net News, 6/28/06: Two City councilmen, Ed Johnson and Jim Keady, are outspoken critics of the use of eminent domain and refuse to vote to take property unless the owners request it. Both of the local representatives believe that redevelopment can occur without eminent domain. "Redevelopment should help the homeowners and the businesses that are in an area that's considered blighted," said Keady. "It shouldn't run them out of that area." Last night, the Springwood Avenue Redevelopment Proposal was introduced. The Chairman of the Committee that wrote it is Jim Keady. From today's Asbury Park Press: The city could use its power of eminent domain to acquire all properties in the area for development. Please tell me what you think.
