Bogart,

I live on Indian School just off Central.  No, I'm not sure what you're referring to.

My memory is kinda flakey, but I found this page that explains it.
Basicly the city of Mesa was taking private property from one citizen to give to another.

To be fair Bailey was offered a pretty generous compensation which this article does not mention.
I cant find the details for it right now, but ill look them up if you want.

That's a terrible article. Clearly, this was a blatant abuse and not at all what eminent domain was intended for.

How do you feel about the light rail system? Too much, not enough...waste of money?

I dont know, right now im without a car and ride the bus alot. I dont understand why we need light rail when we can improve are bus system. It seems more practical to me. To be fair I havent taken a carefull look at the proposal yet.
