A Travesty of Justice......

Ok, the city government of New London Conn is sinking to a new low. After succesfully getting the Supreme court to agree that they can sieze the homes of citizens for a private development the city has come up with a new idea. They are charging the losers rent. That is right, they have decided to charge the families that are being thrown out of their homes rent for living in city property since 2000 when the original condemnation took place. One of the residents who owns 4 houses is being charged $6100 per each month of the last five years. To add insult to that injury, they are saying they will pay the fair market value of the properties as required by law, but that they will pay the fair market value of 2000, not of 2005. Think if you will about how much property values have gone up since 2000. So the city is going to pay them ancient prices, then take the money they pay them back in the form of "use and occupancy payments" (i.e. rent)
Talk about unmitigated GALL!

Here is a link to an article detailing what is going on. A New (London) Low

Just when I think I can't be further disgusted by an act of government something like this happens.
Just remember folks, the Government is here to help you. Spare me God.......
