City shop owner again backs eminent domain bill A Wilmington auto repair shop owner says he'll try again to get the General Assembly to pass a bill limiting the government's power to seize properties under eminent domain. Ed Osborne told WDEL's Delaware Afternoon News the legislation is actually a combination of 2 bills.Audio Here Osborne, whose shop on "A" Street is on the city's eminent domain acquisition list, says the bill would limit eminent domain seizures to public use projects, like roads or schools. The bill was vetoed by Governor Minner at the end of the last legislative session, but Governor-Elect Markell said last summer during his campaign that he'd proudly sign the measure into law.
