Keep these type of rulings in mind the next time you vote. Forget about the two party system, and vote third party ~ vote for reform ~ vote to get your country back! And don't forget that the Governor's race is coming up soon. Kinky Friedman for Governor!

But the Supremes said as long as the city has a plan and it will raise tax revenues for the city, that it is okay.

This is an example of just how wrongheaded this decision was. The big business and towns can afford to hire attorneys, while the little guy probably can't afford much of an attorney, and even if he can, as long as the city has a plan, he doesn't have much of a chance of saving his property.
