Your Capitol Voice: Details on health care, eminent domain bills that passed
“The basis for my fight for private property rights is that I believe it is one of the most fundamental and important tenets of our state and nation. Citizens who own property should not fear a government who can take it for recreational or economic reasons. This is truly not a Democrat or Republican or conservative or liberal issue. Some of the biggest defenders of private property rights are on both ends of the political spectrum. In 2005 the Supreme Court issued a ruling that placed private property rights in peril.”
