We the undersigned citizens believe that in cases of eminent domain when property of an individual is taken that "fair market value" should not be used in place of "just compensation" as stated in the fifth amendment of the United States constitution."Just compensation" should be determined in a court of law on an indivdual basis in each incident.The party wishing to obtain the property of another individual should pay for all attorneys required and all court costs.Justice can then be assured in a fair court by a jury of peers in the county in which the transaction is made.Currently the state of illinois uses only "fair market value" and assesment of one assesor chosen by the state to purchase the property.The citizen is then liable for all costs to obtain justice!!Change this please.
