PA politicians are looking to score hero status with eminent domain prevention bills that don’t really address the core causes of blight, nor do they bother to truly respect individual property rights — leaving politicians firmly in the power broker seat to take what it is they want for their own political gain.

Well… I’ve sure met my share of republicans who are still deluded with the belief that republicans are really about smaller government and lower taxes….

Pittsburgh Mayor Murph– er…. Bob O’Conner says new revenue is essential to a Pittsburgh recovery.
