I wonder what the ratio of pubic to restricted stocks is in the company?.

After NWF becomes an Independant Nation, I think Mr Ever’s first order of business,
after the trials are concluded, should be nationalizing all South Co assetts!

Nope. Cities aren’t private companies. Private companies aren’t cities.

AND
“- – - the government can act on their behalf and declare Eminent domain on those landowners who do not choose to sell so holding out may get you a worse deal. They can do this as a trustee for a private company for the public good. Has not happened yet – - -”

Yep, governments have that power, not companies. And yes, city officials can be bought off, just as you say, it hasn’t happened yet. It definitely didn’t happen in this instance because owners sold out for money. People like money. It’s hard to resist its allure, but that still isn’t force or eminent domain.

There’s a difference between being able to make you an offer you can’t bring yourself to refuse and jailing you for refusing an order.

Well, private companies DO have the power of imminent domain, so I was curious. See below:

By the way David, even though they have bought the land through private purchases up to this point, the government can act on their behalf and declare Eminent domain on those landowners who do not choose to sell so holding out may get you a worse deal. They can do this as a trustee for a private company for the public good. Has not happened yet but could easily happen if the tax base for a new plant plus the high wages is in the best county/states's interest. If you are not smart enough to see that turning $3000 farmland into a multimillion dollar tax cow, the county can milk, you do not yet understand our political system.

None. They don’t have that power.

There’s plenty of land for people to live in the world. They just need power to make it habitable. Consider how many houses could be built in a 40-acre field. Could be, not necessarily should be. Further, if they build on it, they will build more homes and more of the land around them will have houses built on them.

Now let me get this right…..the Gulf Power plant wants to recover their debt from the residents of Escambia County Florida for a decision to purchase property for a potential nuclear power plant that may NEVER be built, and if that’s not stupid enough, once they have their hands on our money, then they have the legal right to take that money and use it on other nuclear power plants for repairs or whatever expences they see fit instead? That is so crooked and yet it seems, were at the mercy of our gov’t to simply vote YES or NO? Boy….are we ever in trouble!
