From newstimes.com:
Republican attorney general candidate Martha Dean Thursday called the taking by eminent domain of a Brookfield quarry to make room for the Route 7 bypass an abuse of the power.
The state paid the owner of the quarry about $4 million in 2004, but was ordered by a judge last year to pay an additional $20 million after finding the state’s valuation of the property lacking.
Dean, who was speaking during a forum Thursday at La Cupola Ristorante in Bantam sponsored by the Litchfield Rotary Club, said the abuse of eminent domain is one of the unfriendly business practices in the state she hopes to end if elected next month.
“We have to get rid of burdensome regulations on businesses,” she said during the event.
