THIS is why I wouldn't consider GW Bush one of the greatest americans.
from the article: In an act that foreshadowed the future Bush II administration's astonishing usurpation of liberties, the Bush owners created the Arlington Sports Facility Development Authority. The Development Authority was granted the right to issue bonds along with the ominous power of eminent domain. This unnecessarily granted power was immediately abused as the Development Authority condemned 12.7 prime real estate acres adjacent to the construction site that was situated near Six Flags Amusement Park. Eminent domain was only enforced after the owners refused the Development Authority's low-ball bid of $817,220. This outrage prompted a court case in which the jury awarded the landowners heirs $7.2 million for the purchase cost of the land plus interest.
