Eminent Domain Coming to 49th Ward In Near Future

For several years now, Alderman Joe Moore and his gang have been laying the psychological groundwork to prepare the 49th Ward for the coming use of eminent domain to grab large chunks of W. Morse Avenue and W. Howard Street. They will tell us that they've pleaded with merchants to improve their storefronts. In fact, they have harassed them and most have resisted. They will tell us that an affordable housing crisis will be solved by the coming land grab. In fact, of course, it will not be. Just as Joe Moore has, in fact, been party to the forcing out of hundreds of residents in the name of "development." But the development is not going quite as fast as the Moore Gang would like. Watch out, business owners. Watch out rental property owners. Watch out, everybody. It's coming. Oh, say, as an afterthought.... Has Joe Moore ever spoken out publicly against the use of eminent domain? If so, please forward the text of that speech and a link to the video, would you? Oh, another thought: Has Kimberly Bares or Rene Camargo or David Fagus ever spoken against eminent domain abuse? How about Brian White or Kevin O'Neal? Or Jimmy Ginderske or that mechanical spleen lawyer?
