It's Always Partisan; the Democrats Are Always Wrong

RECEIVED Fri., June 24, 2005

Dear Editor,
    Man, it's a dark day for private property owners in the greater Austin area. How long do you think it's going to take them to steal the land around the lakes and sell that land to entities who will pay higher taxes than the current property owners? I mean, "for the public good.” That's what the USSC, or should I say the liberals on the court decided. They decided, like good little liberals, that it's OK to take land from one private individual and give it to another private individual who would develop the land and increase potential tax revenues. It's absolutely ridiculous, but that's the thought process of the liberals on the court. Now, for the sarcastic comment by the editor, who can flap all he wants, but the truth is that it was the Republicans on the court who dissented, and it was the liberals on the court who voted for it. Spin away sir, let's see how you can turn this around into an attack on me or on Republicans.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Carl Swanson
