Christopher Reed on Environment

Republican challenger

Eminent Domain is government legally stealing from citizens

Q: What is your position on eminent domain?

A: Eminent Domain is the governments way of legally stealing from citizens. They should not have the right, in the Land of the Free, to take what is not theirs just because they think it may be used to generate more tax revenue by some large corporate outfit from somewhere else. Personal property rights must be protected. Home is where we feel safe and should never feel threatened while at home.
