Front Range Toll Road Company(FRTRC) Superslab
This is possibly the most flagrant example of eminent domain abuse I've ever seen. A private company is trying to use Eminent Domain to condemn a swath of land of almost incomprehensible size. They're trying to steal a strip of land either 2 miles wide or 12 miles wide (I'm not clear on this) that stretches 210 miles across 7 counties along the Colorado front range.
If the Front Range Toll Road Company, owned by Ray Wells, gets their way, they would reportedly displace at least 600 families, possibly over 1,500 families. They want to build a private toll road across other people's land to make a profit. They would bulldoze your house, and arrest you for trespassing on your own land. You can't make this stuff up.

I reported this egregious abuse of eminent domain to the Castle Coalition.

You should send an email to Sean Hannity - he's been all over eminent domain stuff at least once a week for months.

I sent an email to Sean Hannity tonight. It will be interesting to see if he picks up on the eminent domain abuse in Colorado.
