Schwarzenegger opposes eminent domain measure

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced Friday that he will oppose an initiative on the June 3 ballot to restrict governments' ability to use eminent domain to seize property.

Schwarzenegger said he was opposing Proposition 98 in part because it might block the building of water projects crucial to farmers and residential users.

"Eminent domain is an issue worth addressing," Schwarzenegger said in a prepared statement. "However Proposition 98 would undermine California's ability to improve our infrastructure, including our water delivery and storage."

Schwarzenegger tried unsuccessfully to broker a deal with lawmakers to put a $10 billion water bond on the ballot.

Proposition 98 bans the use of eminent domain to transfer property to a private party, and would phase out rent control. It bans taking property for its natural resources.

Opponents argue that the measure might also restrict governments' ability to pass environmental or land use laws - an assertion that backers strongly deny.

Opponents and some experts also say the provision barring taking land for the natural resources could prevent the building of water projects.

The California Farm Bureau Federation, one of the sponsors of the initiative, obtained a legal opinion saying that water storage projects could still be done under Proposition 98.

The provision on natural resources was meant to block any efforts by cities to condemn farmland for its water, the bureau says, not to hamper water storage projects.

But even some other farm organizations question that interpretation, fearing that Proposition 98 might curtail the building of pipelines, canals and reservoirs.

Proposition 98

1248. Government Acquisition, Regulation of Private Property. Constitutional Amendment.
Proponents: Doug Mosebar, Jon Coupal and Jim Nielsen (916) 444-9950

Bars state and local governments from condemning or damaging private property for private uses. Prohibits rent control and similar measures. Prohibits deference to government in property rights cases. Defines “just compensation.” Requires an award of attorneys fees and costs if a property owner obtains a judgment for more than the amount offered by the government. Requires government to offer to original owner of condemned property the right to repurchase property at condemned price when property is put to substantially different use than was publicly stated. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased costs to many governments due to the measure’s restrictions. The fiscal effect on most governments probably would not be significant. (Initiative 07-0015.) (Full Text) Subscribe to *Agriculture-Environment*
