He has a point

Read what Mr. Woodard says about eminent domain in the Fort Worth Business Press.

In an overwhelming show of support for property rights, Texans voted 81 per cent on Nov. 3 for Proposition 11, which will place more restrictions on government entities that use eminent domain to take private property.

Considering this vote by four fifths of the electorate, were I promoting $909 million Trinity Uptown, I would now ask for a vote by local taxpayers to be sure this project had solid community support.

Come hell or high water, the Grangerites push on. The public and the Governor and the Constitution be damned!
