If you remain in possession of your property at that time, Federal Express will have you and your belongings removed by the Sheriff. There are already nine reasons why local governments can seize your property. That s nine too many, according to the Libertarian Party. At least under the current law, governments must claim some public purpose for this action. But stealing property from people to just to hand it over to favored businesses is a whole new level of corporate welfare.
Libertarians point out that similar laws have already been struck down in other states.
For example, last year the New Jersey Supreme Court stopped Donald Trump from evicting people from their homes to expand his casino in Atlantic City. Taxpayers already pay to lure companies here. We pay again for the roads and utilities they need to operate. Then we pay to train their employees, and on top of it all, we keep paying taxes while these corporations are given exemptions. We might as well rename Hertford County as Nucor County while we re at it.
