The judge tells Navasota News for eminent domain to work there needs to be comparable situations and he believes the damage caused by the proposed High Speed Rail would be greater than either a transmission line or pipeline could ever cause.
Add to that, he continues, this project also has an additional effect on homes and properties adjacent to ones being looked at by TCP, and those property owners have no voice in the matter and would not be compensated in any way.
