Rio Rancho Mayor Swisstack announced that Rio Rancho will seek eminent domain to acquire small individually owned parcels of land to allow the city to create large tracts of land for commercial development.
In this writers opinion, the exercise of eminent domain is statutory theft of private property by government. Instead of applying eminent domain, perhaps Rio Rancho's government should consider buying the "small individually owned parcels of land" first in an open and equitable manner instead of wearing the statutory mask of eminent domain.
