An opponent of eminent domain abuse, Jim Roos had a mural painted on the side of a building that the organization he runs--the sign says "End Eminent Domain Abuse."Naturally St. Louis bureaucrats, who like most of their ilk are not known for their tolerance of criticism, want the sign removed.
The Institute for Justice, a libertarian group, is aiding Roos as he works through the federal legal system to keep the sign up.
Closer to (my) home, a North Side Chicago group is working to save a prosperous block of businesses on in the Lincoln Square area, as The Bench reports. The group meets Wednesday night at 7:00pm, click on the above link to learn more.
