Podcast Episode 82 – Bob Belden on Contesting an Economic Development Taking in New York

Bob Belden of the Institute for Justice joins the show to discuss a matter arising out of Onondaga County, New York, where homeowners in the Burnet Road community are fighting for their property against a taking for a prospective transaction with a manufacturing facility. Bob tells us about the Burnet Road community, the similarities of this situation to Kelo v. City of New London, and the current legal environment on economic development takings in the State of New York.
