Eminent Domain--Prop 11

Of great concern to me is how few people were even aware that early voting was happening, and on the ballot are some important issues. One particularly important to preserving the landscape of Texas, Proposition 11, was brought up briefly at News8Austin. Few people actually know what eminent domain is, or how it can effect an area (both positively and negatively). I just find it somewhat ironic that Governor Rick Perry, who typically would promote eminent domain, finds himself on the supporting end of a backhanded proposition that makes him look good for the upcoming primary, but still maintains language used in the proposition that would benefit himself and associated members of his party and supporters. Definitely worth the quick read, and might I recommend searching eminent domain elsewhere. Thanks, and please feel free to comment!
