Ay caramba! Hope this isn't true...
Captain's Quarters is reporting that the City of New London, CT, which recently won in Kelo vs. New London, is now claiming that not only must the homeowners leave under eminent domain, the same homeowners owe the City of New London RENT for the years spent fighting the City of New London's eminent domain taking. AND, the homeowners will only be paid for the value of the proeprty at the time of the initiation of the suit, in 2000.
Oh, did I remember to mention that the article claims that the NLDC also insists that all rent collected from tennants of the people who thought they were the owners of their own property actually belongs to the City of New London, and must also be forked over, forthwith? This, too, could amount to tens of thousands of dollars that the hapless home(less)owners now owe the city... for having had the temerity to object to being treated like Mediaeval serfs, ousted at will by the local lord.These erstwhile owners are in the process of having their lives utterly destroyed by the city in which most were born.
And thank God for Anthony Kennedy! If it weren't for him, these poor saps might have had to shuffle on through life laden down with all these, you know, dwelling places and such.
