A property rights defender
“The opponents of last November’s property rights amendment to the Virginia Constitution assured us that we could trust our state lawmakers to stand strong for reforms they enacted in 2007 preventing localities from condemning land for economic development. An elected official would be crazy to flip-flop and vote to allow homes, farms or small businesses once again to be condemned and then sold to private developers who promised “bigger and better” uses for the property.”
