JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A group seeking to limit eminent domain is concerned that a legal appeal could make it harder to get the issue on Missouri's 2010 ballot.

Missouri Citizens for Property Rights is backing a pair of constitutional amendments that would restrict the condemnation of private property for redevelopment.

A judge ruled last month that the ballot summary prepared by Secretary of State Robin Carnahan for one of the amendments was "insufficient and unfair." This week, Carnahan appealed that decision.

The ruling also was appealed by the Missouri Municipal League, which wants the judiciary to make even greater changes to the ballot summary and financial estimate. 

Missouri citizens likely will only receive redress to their objections to the wide-open eminent domain process allowing for alleged tax benefits to local authorities. This is at the detriment of individual private owners through the legislative process.
