"Three voter initiatives have been filed with the Attorney General targeted at eliminating the use of eminent domain for any property that would not be owned and used by a public entity.

Sen. Tom McClintock, Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby, and Jon Coupal, President of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, submitted two measures last week, one of which is also sponsored by Assemblymember Doug LaMalfa. A third was filed this week signed by Douglas Adams McNea and Karin Annette Hipona."
