Kelo Holdouts Reach Settlement

Newsmax reports:

The last two holdouts in New London, Conn.'s Fort Trumbull neighborhood agreed Friday to give up their land to make way for private development, ending a battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Susette Kelo, the lead plaintiff in the case, agreed to have her pink cottage moved elsewhere in New London.

"Even though she lost her land, the little pink home that launched a national revolution is safe, and it's going to stand as a testament to her heroic struggle and the struggle against eminent domain abuse throughout the country," said Scott Bullock, a spokesman for the Institute for Justice, which represented the homeowners.

Kelo will now stand for property rights.
