In 2006 I sponsored a new law (HB 06-1411) that stops government from condemning private property simply to increase tax revenues or bring in a new "big box" store. Because of my legislation, there must now be a "clear and convincing" need to eliminate blight in the community.

I have been vigilant in the fight to limit eminent domain–the power of government to condemn private property- because your home,business or farm is one of your most precious possessions.
