Watch out Presidential Contenders: Eminent Domain Becoming a Campaign Issue in Iowa

A former elected official is vowing to defeat incumbents in different districts if eminent domain overhaul isn’t finalized. The target: no eminent domain for private gain. 

Iowa is quickly moving forward to make it considerably more challenging for a private comapny to exercise eminent domain. 

“Use of eminent domain also deepens the feelings of landowners and others “who feel the average person’s freedom and liberty doesn’t matter anymore and that big corporations with political connections and deep pockets can simply waltz in and confiscate someone’s land,” he said.”    Globe Gazette
