Intitiative 31 passes overwhelmingly; private
property rights protected |
The Mississippi Farm Bureau heralded approval
of a ballot initiative by Mississippi voters on Tuesday that
would ban the state from using eminent domain to give land
to private developers. MFB was viewed as the driving force
behind the initiative and actively campaigned for its passage.
Randy Knight, MFB president, hailed Tuesday’s vote
as a triumph for private property rights. “It is clear
that Mississippians feel strongly about protecting their private
property rights,” Knight said through a spokesman. “We’ve
felt all along that the best way to promote economic development
is with a willing buyer and a willing seller.”
