I jsut wrote my state senator, representative, and US representative to urge them to pass legislation putting strict limits on eminent domain powers. Basically I'd like those limits to reflect the limits that are in the Constitution and are being ignored. Where it says public "use," I was them to define that as being used by the public. Higher tax revenue is not a use, and a Pfizer facility is not public (unless they let people camp out in their lobby, or play little league baseball in the atrium, or even allow the public to use their restrooms). Higher revenues are a pblic benefit, which is very different from use.

At any rate, write your elected officials. I just googled "how do i write my senator" or something like that, and found a nice place with everything I needed.
