Members of the Haywood County Libertarian Party challenged a clause in an emergency response ordinance that would give authoritarian power to the county manager to seize or condemn property if he felt like it. The language is not uncommon; the City of Asheville wanted to, and did, authorize the stormwater czar, or his/her designee, to enter property if he/she deemed it the thing to do. The ordinance had some additional creepy powers, but I was told I was a babbling fool who couldn’t read, so I hushed.
