Did you read this article in yesterday's PD?

So they cant spare some land from a new Walmart that they have to pull this crap and take this woman's land through eminent domain? This woman is sick, her land has been in her family for generations. I feel so bad for her. It is not as if they cant find other land, they have just deemed that they dont want to spend for it.

I am disgusted. This has to be the one of the most disgusting things I have read in a long time. My parents live in Avon, and even though I do not, I plan on writing a letter to the Avon School Board regarding this.

This is really ugly. I thought people were moving out to Avon because it had all this room. How can a city with empty space consider taking some from someone by force? This is pretty ridiculous. I hope that a judge that looks at this (it better go to court) says "hey, what about all this room over here...and here...and here?"

Ugly.
