The Buckeye Institute Files Amicus Brief in Support of Property Owners
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court of the United States to take up the case Wayside Church v. Van Buren County in support of Wayside Church whose private property was taken by the county for pennies on the dollar. With similar laws as Michigan’s, the case also has implications for Ohio property owners. “When government pockets anything more than what is owed in back taxes, it is robbery and a blatant violation of the Takings Clause of the Constitution.”
