The authority is entrusted with acquiring and managing the properties within the geographic boundaries of Brunswick Naval Air Station. [2009, c. 641,
§1 (AMD).]
1. Powers. The authority is a public municipal corporation and may:D. Exercise the power of eminent domain; [2005, c. 599, §1 (NEW).]

     Preserving The American Political Philosophy: LEGISLATING A RUN AROUND THE MAINE CONSTITUTION


I added some new information to this blog post about the fundamental transformation of the Bond ratification process in Maine. The 2011 law shoes how the process of transforming constitutional requirements from mandates to optional has been planned all along as an incremental process which is complete in the 2011 statutes which are written to say that complying with the constitution is optional! The UNCONSTITUTIONAL corporate state of Maine at work!
