Post Register: Prop 2: Fraudulent, Dangerous

Full Idaho Falls Post Register editorial here

Proposition 2 bills itself as a check against unbridled government control over private property rights. It copies the state's new law protecting you against the government using its eminent domain powers to condemn your property and turn it over to developers. It morphs into a regulatory takings bill. The taxpayer would be forced to compensate a developer if zoning blocked his plans. Say goodbye to Idaho's already minimal land-use planning -- Marty Trillhaase/Idaho Falls Post Register.
