PURSUING EMINENT DOMAIN LIKELY A COSTLY MISTAKE
“o the editor:
Allow me to add my name to the list of the many people who strongly urge the City of Alexandria not to take the costly and unnecessary step of attempting to seize land from the Old Dominion Boat Club by means of eminent domain.
The cost of pursuing such an attempt, which undoubtedly will be opposed by the boat club, will be huge. It will only add to the already enormous amount of money that has been spent over many decades in what has thus far been an unnecessary and unsuccessful fight with the group over its land.”
