Headlines No Condemnor Likes To See

By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)

We have no idea what these cases might be about, or whether there is any substance behind the property owners' objections, but these are headlines no condemnor could possibly like:

• Bedford County Widow Sued (via wjactv.com) - "A Bedford County widow is being sued for trying to keep Columbia Gas Transmission off her property. The Texas-based company is using eminent domain to gain access to 67-year-old Mary Ellen McConnell's 125-acre farm."

• Granny Vows To Fight For House (via wyff4.com) - "On the other side of Stenhouse Rd, 85-year-old Juanita Sullivan worries about eminent domain."

Might as well say they're trying to take property from cute, fluffy kittens.
