CONDEMNATION LAW:
Help Amend Wisconsin's Condemnation Law Before it Hits Home. Your Home.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently declared that it is OK for the government to condemn single-family homes and sell them to private developers. In fact, some legal experts believe this ruling permits government to use condemnation "to replace any Motel 6 with a Ritz Carlton, any farm with a factory, or any home with a shopping mall." Yes, even your home.

The Wisconsin Homeowners Alliance thinks it’s wrong to allow government to condemn your home for the benefit of a private, third party. Please help us enact Assembly Bill 657- legislation that prevents the condemnation of homes for the purpose of selling to private parties. Call you legislators at (800) 362-9472 and Governor Doyle at (608) 266-1212 and ask them to enact this bill into law, before it hits home.
