A Hotel to Suit a Souter
The recent Supreme Court decision regarding eminent domain says, in essence, that a local government may transfer private land from one owner to another if that transfer would result in greater tax revenues.
For the public good. Yeah, sure, okay.
Let’s see how the Justices themselves like it. Freestar Media, LLC, is applying to the Town of Weare, New Hampshire to build a hotel on the land of Justice David H. Souter.
The Town of Weare must be made to understand in no uncertain terms what a wealth of tax revenues would be coming their way if this hotel is built. Fax them at 603-529-4554 and let them know how excited you are by the rumour of the new “Lost Liberty Hotel”, and that you will be making your reservations as soon as its doors open. Be sure to mention your curiosity about Weare at large, and ask where else in town (restaurants? shops?) you can look forward to spending your vacation dollars.
