ROBERT STEUTEVILLE JAN. 1, 2004
The Institute for Justice, a Washington, DC, nonprofit organization that challenges what it sees as widespread misuse of the governmental power of eminent domain, has published Public Power, Private Gain: A Five-Year, State-by-State Report Examining the Abuse of Eminent Domain. The 221-page paperback, assembled by Institute senior attorney Dana Berliner, reports on condemnations aimed at seizing properties and turning them over to private parties — for purposes such as retail, office, or industrial development. The book is available for a $5 shipping charge from the Institute, 1717 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington 20006. The contents are available free on-line at www.ij.org
