Keeping eminent domain reform alive

The need to change the ground rules for eminent domain barely registered a blip on the radar in the recent legislative elections, and efforts at reform have been stalled by the state Democratic leadership. Public Advocate Ronald Chen, one of the leading voices for reform, continues to push for change.
Chen was a panelist in a session titled "Recent Development in Eminent Domain Law" at the League of Municipalities convention in Atlantic City this week. The text of Chen's prepared remarks is worth a read if you're interested in the subject.
