[imc-st.louis] “Environmental Costs of Eminent Domain”

[Don Fitz]

*“Environmental Costs of Eminent Domain”*

 

Eminent domain forces home and business owners to sell their property — 
and real estate speculators often allow it to deteriorate.  As vacant 
buildings invite dumping of both garbage and hazardous waste, eminent 
domain becomes an environmental hazard.  Host Don Fitz discusses these 
problems with Washington University Economics Professor emeritus Fred 
Raines, Green Party activist Angelika Rowry and Eugene Fowler of the 
Citizens Coalition to Fight Eminent Domain Abuse.  They ask whether the 
current administration is using eminent domain to drive low income black 
families out of St. Louis.  This Green Time (No. 311) is produced by the 
Gateway Greens in conjunction with KDHX.  Call 314-727-8554 or contact
