Eminent Domain Amendment: Part 2

Further revisions and discussion from Hold the Mayo. They are changing the wording to make it more precise and removed declarative statements. Partly I agree with the changes, since we have all seen what declarative statements have done with regard to the 2nd amendment.

Here is rev. 10.1

No government or agency of government within these United States shall have the authority to take property from a private citizen, corporation, or organization for other than a public use without just compensation.

Public use shall be understood to be property the government owns, or the public has a legal right to use. Public use of such property shall be maintained for a period of not less than 50 years.

Just compensation shall be higher of the twice average of either the price paid for similar property in the preceding six months or the average of the previous 10 recorded similar property transactions. Compensation paid shall be exempt from taxation in any form by any government within these United States.

There is a post on the wording for a petition related to all this. When it becomes active I'll post it here.
