California Voters Say No to Eminent Domain

From Realtor Magazine Online, Daily Real Estate News June 4, 2008

Voters in California approved Proposition 99, which bans governments from forcing most Californians to sell their homes for private development projects.

"I think for sure the enactment of 99 will drive the stake through the eminent domain fraud in California," said Tom Adams, board president of the California League of Conservation Voters, which backed the measure.

The passage of Prop 99 on Tuesday comes three years after a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005, where the court found that a Connecticut redevelopment authority had the right to seize private property for hotels, shopping centers, and other private developments.
