A bipartisan bill introduced in yesterday the N.C. House of Representatives would allow North Carolinians to vote on an amendment to protect our private property from eminent domain abuse. A similar amendment was proposed during the 2006 legislative session, but was sent to die in a committee.
House Bill 878 was introduced by Representatives Paul Stam (R-Wake), Dan Blue (D-Wake), David Lewis (R-Harnett) and Jim Harrell (D-Surry). According to a release from Rep. Stam, the bill has 81 additional co-sponsors.
It is our hope that this amendment will be given fair consideration by the legislative leadership.
