More eminent domain

WILKES-BARRE – The Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority voted without dissent Monday to condemn the rear half of a Plymouth property which is part of the county’s levee system.

Another case of blackmail of the taxpayers or just a knee jerk reaction by the commissioners? The owner of the Huber Breaker threatens to sell the place for scrap and the Luzerne County Commissioners vote to take it by eminent domain and there's that whole thing about the building in Hazleton.
