In protest to a recent Supreme Court ruling, a group of state legislators has formed a task force to find the best solution for fighting eminent domain in Oklahoma.
Founder of the task force, Sen. Clark Jolley, R-Edmond, said that the purpose behind the group is to create a piece of legislation for next year's session that will best address the new issue. The Supreme Court in the case of Kelo v. City of New London ruled last month that eminent domain can now be used for private development.
