this is taken from the valley guide april- may 2006 issue.

all a synopsis.

basicly breaks down that the state of west virginia has interpreted WV code 7A-2-1 to mean that the west virginia constitution definition of "public use" to any public purpose.

WV code 7-12-7a enpowers and authorizes county commisions to take your property for development by others.

WV code 7-11B commonly referred to as TIF (tax increment financing) authorizes and enpowers county commisions to take your property and give it to another to complete any private project.

WVcode 8a-12-16 farmland protection act does not protect farmers or their land. to the contrary it makes farms available to be taken by : "any person or entity may excercize domain" to take your farm for their own use.

the greenbrier county public record is clear. ALL incumbents and all previous office holders running for office in this election have publicly endorsed and embraced the laws and ordinances/orders allowing the taking of your private property for others to develop. no amount of signs, advertising, or denials can change the record.

by vernon hayslette candidate for greenbrier county commision.

Wasn't there already a Supreme Court case on this? That interpreted it the way you wrote? I seem to remember the Lost Liberty Hotel...

i believe any county can usurp those laws and make them invalid within the county. and a referendum can be brought up to let the voters say NO to such laws.

Correct (basically) - state and local governments are free to pass laws more restrictive, but they can't go the other way and make it easier to take property than the Constitution outlines.
