-Caveat Lector- Libertarian Party News January 2001 Page 9 New York LP protests land 'theft' by the New York Times The state Libertarian Party has condemned a plan by the New York Times to seize land by eminent domain so it can build a new office in downtown New York. "The New York Times and other media should expose eminent domain and corporate welfare - not use state power to deprive people of their property", said New York LP State Chair Richard Cooper in December. The New York Times has asked the state to condemn millions of dollars of privately owned property on Eighth Avenue - and turn it over to the influential media corporation under eminent domain law - so it can construct a huge new office building. But the plan is "legalized theft", said Cooper. "The New York Times [wants to] erect a new building at the expense of taxpayers, the landowners and their tenants," he said. "New York taxpayers would foot the bill for them. "Libertarians [know that] corporate welfare and eminent domain is legalized theft, using state power to deprive people of their property." And Bronx LP member Robert Goodman asked, "Why can't the Times shop and pay for space like everyone else?" -- C.I.A. - Criminals Infesting America <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
