Residents in Weare, N.H., changed a ballot proposal to seize U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s home to the following. This is the wording voters will see when they get their ballots on March 14.
Shall the town vote:
1) to ask its selectmen not to use their eminent domain powers to take David Souter’s home for an inn.
2) to urge the governor and the Legislature to adopt a statute and/or amendment to the New Hampshire Constitution to forbid eminent domain takings that would result in transfer of land or property to private interests for economic development purposes.
