TPPF: Eminent Domain in 2015

Ardent private property rights supporters, TPPF, offers a litany of eminent domain recommendations, including: 

• Property owners right to buy back property if it is not used for the public use asserted when the property was acquired
• Limit the use of property to the public use for which the property was acquired 
• Limit eminent domain to public uses, not public purposes
• Place the burden of proof on the condemning entity, not the property owner
• Reduce judicial deference to executive agencies and local governments (hello, quasi governmental entities and private companies, you all are excluded from judicial deference)
• Restore a constitutional right to own and use property
