Bizzy Blog has an update on the story I had posted on here.
The update: SAND SPRINGS — A church that lies in the path of Sand Springs’ proposed Keystone Corridor redevelopment project is being cited nationally as an example of government flexing its power of eminent domain to take property for private commercial use.
But there’s a problem with the National Review Online’s assertions, city officials said: The city hasn’t filed any condemnation action against Centennial Baptist Church, nor does it intend to.
“There’s no eminent domain action going on against any properties there,” City Manager Loy Calhoun said. “No actions, no intents — nothing like that’s been done in the area.”
Bizzy Blog says this is a fast bit of double-talk. Please read his whole post including updates.

From bizzy blog:
“Look, folks, it’s the threat of eminent domain and the fact that Kelo makes it easier for the government to take control of property that is the important thing here, not whether the actual eminent-domain filings have occurred, or for that matter whether they ever will occur.”
You know, if it were a liberal making that statement, you’d chew them to peices. It’s not the fact whether anything has happen or will happen, but it could? You’ve summed up the left’s core argument for everything they are against.
