Eminent Domain Bill Pending

Update on Illinois eminent domain. See Castle Coalition map, plug in Illinois and there is an excellent summary with bill status and text. Pending in the Illinois House now.

Tribune editorial here. I'm not sure the amended law overall is an improvement, as the Tribune suggests. It's imperative for citizens to judge pending local developments on the merits, as this law exempts many ongoing projects and also exempts TIFs, which might encourage their use unwisely.
