"I signed legislation protecting Missourians' property rights which also created the Office of the Eminent Domain Ombudsman. Now Missouri has a property rights czar to take the lead in providing property owners with the information they need to fight eminent domain abuse. We want Missouriansto know their rights if an abuser tries to take their home, small business, farm or other property. I hope Missourians make this office their first call if they ever face the threat of eminent domain." - Governor Matt Blunt
