Vera Coking, had owned property near the Trump Plaza Hotel for three decades, and didn’t want to move. Trump thought the land was better suited for use as a park, a parking lot, and a waiting area for limousines. He tried to negotiate, at one point offering Coking $1 million for the land. But she wasn’t budging. So New Jersey’s Casino Reinvestment Development Authority filed a lawsuit, instructing Coking to leave within 90 days and offering compensation of only $251,000.
eminent domain ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
want to make new friends, and see new places ?
screw with The Donald.
I remember when the supreme court thought this was OK. Not one single democrat complained. I guess they figure that if we are are all sharing property then I guess it is OK to share it for the common good. In this case it was OK to do so as long as we were doing it for the common good. It wasn't for roads or any other public infrastructure project but it was for the common good. I guess if corporations are going to run the economic system then allowing them to obtain property for the 'common good' then it is OK. Screw the little guy who wants to hold onto his land for whatever reason he wants because in this new economy individuals are not as important as the whole.
