Eminent Domain Abuse. October 2009: Montgomery County Denies Restraining Order
AG Doug Gansler and Montgomery County Judge Mary Beth McCormick felt a work stoppage at $40000 loss per day outweighed the potential for an accident even though earthmovers and trucks came within inches of hitting pedestrians. Judge McCormick granted free hotel stays for 6800 Garrett Road residents and improved safety measures by the SHA despite turning down the restraining order request by Mike Vechery. The state and Montgomery County continue to put people in imminent danger with the ICC. Neighbors have been purchased, the park and the Ride on bus are no longer accessible, and safety and pollution will be cataclysmic leaving Mike Vechery and his home to be wiped out. 2 lawsuits against MD have been filed-1st one is the illegal purchase of the road in front of 6800 Garrett with no notice or payment and the 2nd is for “Constructive Condemnation”. The SHA’s Neil Pedersen, Melinda Peters, and Wes Mitchell do not even follow Maryland’s “Rights and Benefits Handbook” regarding property/partial purchases corruptly avoiding purchases by devious and illegal practices. The ICC’s own quarterly brochures regarding compensation are a total fabrication as well. The SHA and their illegal business must be stopped at once. Governor Martin O’Malley and AG Doug Gansler must change the SHA environment.
Scorched Earth: Eminent Domain Abuse in the Gardens of Mount Holly
The township of Mount Holly, NJ, has been systematically destroying the Gardens—a close-knit community of over 300 garden-style row homes—for the past decade.

Eminent Domain Abuse -Hawaii
Should an unelected city employee have so much power? Should the Hauula Fire Station Relocation project siphon funds from the Community Development Block Grants to build this $10M project? Is this the right priority in today’s economy? Is this unelected employee asking the non-profits to ‘eat cake?’

Susette Kelo: Act to End Eminent Domain Abuse, June 23, 2008
www.IJ.org Three years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that my little pink cottage in New London, Connecticut, could be handed over to a private developer. It was just one of 10000 instances of eminent domain abuse to occur in the United States over a 5-year period. Just one instance—yet a tipping point that sparked a national revolution. On this, the third anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s dreadful decision, I’m asking for 10000 people to join me in donating to the non-profit legal foundation that stood by me all the way to the Supreme Court, and continues to stand by heroic individuals fighting to keep the homes that are rightfully theirs. By donating to the Institute for Justice on the anniversary of the ruling—June 23, 2008—you will become a Founding Member of the Susette Kelo Liberty Club. Every single dollar raised during this special event will be used to fight eminent domain abuse across the nation. And while all donations are appreciated, I hope you’ll consider giving your most generous gift of $25, $50, $100, or more. Even a $5 contribution will send a message to those in power that our homes are important to us and must be protected. Yours in Freedom, Susette Kelo
