Quoted from the article:
"Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner."

If that were the strict interpretation then someone could petition my local muni and say that if they let them have the property the increase in assesment value will bring in more tax dollars...blah blah blah you get the point.

I don't know what to make of that!
