California eminent domain reform: 98 or 99?
There are two eminent domain proposals on the ballot this June in California. Which one to vote for? I was wondering about this when I got my ballot summary last week. I was tempted to vote for both of them. Ilya Somin explains why that’s a bad idea. It looks like proposition 98 is the one to vote for.
- Proposition 99 - California's trojan horse eminent domain "reform" referendum initiative
- “Proposition 99 purports to protect property rights against takings but actually provides almost no real protection.”
