Eminent Domain abuse

Here's a story about local Eminent Domain abuse. The city of Black Hawk, Colorado confiscated land from a citizen for a road under the auspices of Eminent Domain. Then, after the road was built, a court-appointed panel decided how much the city owed for requisitioning the land. As it turns out, the panel ruled the city should pay $5 million dollars to the legitimate owners of the property. Black Hawk promptly balked and is refusing to pay for the land they stole from an 84 year old woman. Classic. I went ahead and reported the story to the Castle Coalition.
