D.C. bill allowing eminent domain

By Alan Ackerman

WASHINGTON - The D.C. Council is considering a bill that would allow the city to use eminent domain to seize and redevelop nearly two dozen properties in southeast Washington.

Legislation introduced by D.C. Council Member Marion Barry targets three areas east of the Anacostia River.

Barry says he hopes the owners will cooperate without the city having to use eminent domain.

An official in D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's office says the administration backs the bill.

-Gentleman, it is hard to believe the offers are going to be just perfect. The owners will maybe donate the property to the City so that a few developers (somebody's friend or relative) can profitably put the private property to better use.

This is a long, long ways from the need for the taking in Berman v. Parker!
