Found this in paper this morning....Sun-Sentinel
Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist was asked how this ruling might affect Florida property owners. Crist stated:
"Florida's Constitution, as interpreted by the courts, and Florida statutory law provide greater protection of private property rights than either the U.S. Constitution or Connecticut law."
"Under Florida law, only if property is designated as a blighted area can it be taken through the extraordinary power of eminent domain for redevelopment, and then only if it would primarily serve a public purpose.''
Quite simply, eminent domain is not available in Florida if the benefit to a private party is the paramount purpose of the project.
