The Ultimate Folly of Kelo vs. New London.

One of the worst Supreme Court decisions, Kelo vs. New London, the Court ruled that the town of New London, Ct, could claim Ms. Kelo's house to give to Pzifer, who would build something that would deliver more tax revenue. Today, however, Pfizer abandoned the project. So Kelo's house was destroyed for the "public benefit" (higher tax revenues) that never materialized. Now the "public" is worse off, because the site of Ms. Kelo's house is now a lot of weeds gaining no tax revenue at all.
