Meltzer Leads Fight Against Railroad Grab in Connecticut
Hartford May 10 Representative Joshua Meltzer of Bridgeport helped lead the fight against a bill favored by the railroad committee granting railroads power to condemn land pre arbitrage of sale price. The House defeated the measure by an overwhelming vote, Meltzer calling it vicious and noting it gives railroads nine points of the law while property owners have a minor point. Other representatives opposed the bill and argued it was an old friend of the General Assembly. The House first voted against the bill then reconsidered and killed it for good.
