Eminent Domain Propels Candidate to Enter Race

Mississippi State Senator Mike Seymour entered the race for his seat due to his opposition to eminent domain and China…. In his words:

“”The thing that separates us from Russia and China and all is our property rights. I understand eminent domain for transportation and stuff like that but when it comes to economic development, it shouldn’t be the government taking your property and selling it to another entity to generate more tax revenue. That’s not America. It’s something that shouldn’t even be brought to the table.”

Once again, the refrain sounds- no eminent domain, for economic gain. private Entities with eminent domain authority- pipelines, railroads, electricty transmission lines, private water entities- should all be on high alert.
