PHOENIX - In a ruling hailed by property-rights advocates, a judge has rejected Tempe's efforts to use condemnation lawsuits to seize privately owned land so it can be used for development of a shopping complex. […]
"The anticipated private purposes and benefits outweigh any public benefit or purpose," [Judge Kenneth] Fields wrote in a 31-page ruling dated Monday and released Tuesday. "Profit, not public improvement, is the motivating force for this redevelopment."
