Any action by an expropriating authority to acquire land without the consent of the owner has potential for conflict. In many cases, the owner will look for opportunities to tell his or her side of the story in a public forum. The Internet can be a cost-effective way for an aggrieved owner to satisfy this objective. Some examples are available through the following links.
