A number of New York state legislators have openly opposed NY Governor Cuomo’s executive order to take ventilators from their areas of the state to supply them to New York City.
While there are compelling arguments on both sides of the dilemma regarding the allocation of resources, the first thing that occurred to me might differ somewhat.
How many of these state legislators live in a district that practices or supports the concept of “eminent domain”?
How does it feel being the victim of the practice?
How will they act going forward when such a practice is exercised within their district?
