Florida's laws are one of the worst in the country for using eminent domain for private development. It is absolutely terrible.

The vast, overwhelming majority of Americans are opposed to using eminent domain.

This bill places unprecedented limits on eminent domain abuse. The one glaring shortcoming is the temporary exceptions for Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, but even that does not dampen the near total victory this bill provides.

We lost the Supreme Court case, but we're ultimately going to win in changing the way that eminent domain is going to be used in this country.

That means we need only a quarter of the Democratic members, ... Eleven states have changed their eminent domain laws since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled. Why not Connecticut? Why do we need more than three months to study this issue?

I'm not in favor of allowing a foreign contractor to come in a build a toll road using eminent domain.
