Stop eminent domain abuse in Iowa

I was at the Iowa Capital recently with gubernatorial candidate Rick Stewart listening to landowners and a couple of legislators speak on the topic of eminent domain being used for private projects. I am proud to say that Stewart is standing for these owners’ property rights. I won’t mince words. Anyone in or running for office that listens to these Iowans at the capital today about eminent domain abuse, and sides with the abuse, is unfit to serve Iowans. If they allow this abuse to pass by they clearly have no care for their citizenry, for basic property rights or for the Bill of Rights.
