Adelman tells WSB's Jeff Dantre', "Senate Bill 5 allows, in secret, any government entity whether it be the state or any of the 159 counties or any of the more than 700 cities or 180 school boards to make a deal with some big insider developer that pledges taxpayer money or gives taxpayer property or gives to the developer the power of eminent domain to develop Georgia in whatever way they want."
Adelman contends the legislation not only enables government entities to use the power of eminent domain to acquire property for public use but also for private use. Adelman says, "At best it is irresponsible and I would fully expect the Governor would repudiate this bill and that the leadership would back away from it."
