The case in question is New London, Connecticut. And this power has been around for a long time. The railroad barons used it in the 19th century.

I disagree with the descision, but I see where they are coming from.

NL is going down the economic crapper. The descision is meant to let bussinesses build factories and such (hopefully) in order to bring jobs and economic growth to a town that desperatly needs both.

To call this tyranny or some sort of government bowing to corporations is just a little too simplistic.

This is screwing over a group of people in order to save a larger group of people.


And, kids, do we all know what this is called?

Thats right. Democracy.
