MAYOR MISSPOKE ON EMINENT DOMAIN
“Eminent domain is and always has been a contentious term, especially in the run-up to last year’s election, when Mayor Bill Euille touted — erroneously — his record of eschewing land grabs.
“There has been no use of eminent domain on any properties along the waterfront,” Euille shot back at then-mayoral candidate Andrew Macdonald during a heated October 2012 debate. “As a matter of fact, there’s been no use of eminent domain since I’ve been serving on city council the past 18 years.””
