Eminent domain use here in KC?
This totally passed without me even seeing it, but eminent domain was used in Kansas City, Kansas to take over the Indian Springs mall. It seems like a classic example of how eminent domain is used. The government spies some land that it wants, so it uses eminent domain, its ability to “condemn” land, and the court system to force the owners of the land to sell the property for a low price.
According to the article, a new law going into effect this July will make these types of land grabs subject to state legislative approval. They got through ruling through in June, of course.
