case regarding the use of eminent <br />Missouri Municipal League v. Carnahan <br />The <br />domain <br />was argued to the Court of Appeals on December 15. The panel consisted of <br />Judges White, Hardwick, Smart, and Martin.The case puts a City’s ability to declare <br />eminent domain/condemnation at risk. At issue are initiatives put forward by the <br />Missouri Citizens for Property Rights to amend the Missouri Constitution. The intent of <br />the amendments is to prohibit a person’s home to be condemned for another private <br />development, such as a shopping center. The League argued that the state ballots <br />summaries and financial estimates for the initiatives were unfair and insufficient. The <br />trial court ruled in favor of the League. The following is a link to a media report on the <br />oral argument: http://www.dolanmedia.com/view.cfm?recID=549702; the summary is <br />also attached. <br />January 14: Missouri Homeownership Preservation Summit <br />The mission of this summit is to bring together elected officials, community leaders, <br />industry professionals and non-profit housing agency directors and staff to learn about <br />current foreclosure, fraud and loan performance trends; new consumer protection and <br />residential lending laws; engage in discussions with policy experts and housing <br />professionals; and identify promising practices to preserve homeownership.
