The House bill would cut off for two years all federal economic development funds to states and localities that use economic development as a rationale for property seizures. It also would bar the federal government from using eminent domain powers for economic development.
Finally.
I'm usually very much against this type of federal intervention in local issues but the decision is such a travesty and violation of personal property rights I applaud congress for stepping in.
