From the Washington Times version of the Kelo story:
According to the Associated Press, Connecticut is one of several states that either expressly allow a taking for private economic purposes or have not spoken clearly to the question.
Eight states — Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, South Carolina and Washington — forbid the use of eminent domain for economic development unless it is to eliminate blight.
Sounds like this needs to move to the top of the priority list for amendments to the N.C. Constitution.
