We're taking your land!

So if we heard Solicitor Karl Kline at Thursday night's Planning Commission meeting correctly, if a certain land owner (John Yautz) in the township would not play ball, the township might condemn his land in order for a road to be put in. This is in regards to the Fort James III project.

Fortunately the Planning Commission did vote to take land from Tioga Pipe versus the land owner, John Yautz.

The Express-Times made no meanigful reference of this in their coverage, but thankfully the Morning Call did make some mention of it. Kudos to Supervisor John Ackerman for offering some other suggestions and special thanks to Dean Turner who was the lone voice on the Planning Commission to push for pursuing alternatives.

If you think that this is not that important, let's hope that the township doesn't decide to condemn your land. Between the ongoing favoritism shown to the developers versus the citizens, plus the matter of fact attitude by the Solicitor, as well as the lack of in-depth news coverage by the local media, you may be the last to know before a bulldozer shows up on your property.
