At least one legislator is trying to stop it.

After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld certain powers of eminent domain, State Sen. Tom McClintock introduced a bill that would prevent California cities from taking property from one private owner and giving it to another.

“There is nothing that rankles the American soul more than an abuse of power that creates an injustice and that’s what the U.S. Supreme Court has now unleashed,” McClintock told FOX News.

“There is no right to steal somebody else’s property for personal gain. That is not a right that is recognized in any civilized society and we ought not to recognize it in ours,” he added.

McClintock’s bill and others like it around the nation could take months to become law, too late for Alsco, which is being pressured to sign on the dotted line this summer.
