In Hackensack, the city council tried to use eminent domain to seize control of a citizen's property so a crony could develop it, wrongfully, and in spite of two efforts by the property owner to develop it himself, which the city council itself had thwarted. Usually, the little guy comes off second best in these situations, but amazingly, not here.
"But fortunately for property owners, Hackensack’s entire city council was booted out of office. The grassroots group Citizens for Change won every single seat on the city council, despite being outraised 2:1. Their slate of candidates successfully ran on a platform against costly litigation, nepotism, and corruption. (For example, Hackensack’s police chief was recently convicted for official misconduct and insurance fraud.) Citizens for Change also sharply criticized Hackensack’s redevelopment projects, calling them “sweetheart deals and special privileges for politically connected property owners and developers.”
Good work, Hackensackians!
Good news from Texas.
Governor Rick Perry proves his worth. Atheists, Progressives and Muslims everywhere are saddened.
"Surrounded by sleigh bell-ringing Santa Claus impersonators, Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday signed a law protecting Christmas and other holiday celebrations in Texas public schools from legal challenges - but also stressed that freedom of religion is not the same thing as freedom from religion."
