eminent domain gone wrong
16 May 2022
Story of susette kelo, paramedic, who fights to keep her house, in new london connecticut. The governor and a local businessswoman want to redevelop part of the town. Near a sewage plant. They'll need to take land by eminent domain, but the homeowners don't want to sell. Get ready for a fight! Jeanne tripplehorn is charlotte, who represents the development group. They aren't using eminent domain to put up a public building... they are using the land to build a pharmaceutical plant. Charlotte is still trying to sweet talk the owners when the dirty tricks start, to get the stubborn owners out of their homes. Off to court! Directed by courtney balaker. Based on the book by jeff benedict. Good stuff! Good summary of what actually happened to everyone and the land itself, after ten years.
