Thought the Kelo case was over last June ? Nope, its Kelo Crunch Time.
That’s what Tom Blumer at BizzyBlog is calling the approaching deadline in the Kelo v. City of New London
Note: Tomorrow, May 31, is what I am calling Kelo Crunch Day, the deadline set by the New London City Council and the New London development Corporation (NLDC) for the Kelo holdouts to either accept their ?offer? (moving the houses to a different parcel and paying rent for the rest of their lives) or face eviction and the assessment of $946,000 in back rents, taxes, and fees. Go to ?Kelo Crunch Time? Part 1 and Part 2 from last week for more immediate background, and explore the previous post links at the bottom of this entry for a deeper look at what has happened to the real people impacted by Kelo v. New London since the Supreme Court?s decision.
Tom has alot of great coverage, and links to previous posts, about this ongoing story.
