"It is in the public interest for municipalities to pursue economic development locally and regionally because a healthy economy helps generate the revenue necessary to provide services and infrastructure needs of the public," they wrote. "At times, the ability to provide the public good requires municipalities to exercise the power of eminent domain granted by state authority."

Co-authors of an editorial explaining why their organizations supported New London

Supporting forced annexation is bad enough. Now the N.C. League of Municipalities (NCLM) supports taking private property to give to private developers. The NCLM filed a amicus brief on behalf of New London, Conn.. When I think of the NCLM, the term Communistic Thugs comes to mind. These people are statists of the worst degree.

Based on these Un-American "crimes" committed by the NCLM, every city and town in N.C. should rescind their membership in that organization. Property owners across this state should demand nothing less!
