local governments. i'll break my testimony into six sustained points. first, i think the bill is based on an erroneous reading of the supreme courts kelo decision. it is correct that kelo declined to bar private takings, transfers. call for deference to state and local government to determine if there is a public purpose. but first they did not make radical new law pick a follow up hundred years of precedent. second, it did not surrender traditional takings come screwed repeatedly emphasize that purely private takings are not permitted and it also again and again emphasized that the case involved legitimate economic development planning and evidence of illegitimate purpose. this discussion as my colleagues here i think it used, had that discussion created litigation opportunities if the state and local government is pursuing eminent domain without the kind of publicly accountable economic development planning and public accountable action. in addition, kelo itself welcomed and prompted state law reforms

an local governments. -- and local governments. at this point i think that this bill actually does create a problem that people haven't previously recognized. i call in the strategic assumer holdout problem. that is, this bill would specially empower property holders, not just with the value of their land which is always something they can seek, but by able to threaten the loss of all federal economic development funds, a single holdout can threaten really not just to hold up a project, but to cause a cessation of fundses that would otherwise flow to the jurisdiction. so this holdout really is specially empowered. i think that's a real problem. as i suggest tmy -- in my testimony, i see my time is running out, i think one way to address some of these issues would be that if this bill is to proceed, is that there should be some way for people to know, if they have reached a genuine agreement with state and local governments, that they couldn't take fair market value and then walk away and then sue. and then similarly there should be

what we do is, we communicate with local law enforcement. we provide training on immigration law and on how to recognize victims in the community. we also work with them to identify different cultural barriers that might exist between local law enforcement officers and members of the community so that they might break down those barriers and find ways to actually get critical, vital information from those in the community. some of the specific challenges we've learned involve a number of those that i cited earlier as challenges that the victims face. so it's a two-way street. whether it be language barrier, cultural barriers. many undocumented immigrants come from environments in other countries where trusting law enforcement is not smart, where when you talk to a police officer as a rape victim, for example, you might yourself be revictimized, so to say to a woman as i have had to, honestly, these armed and uniformed police officers are here to help you takes a lot of courage. that's not on my part. it takes a lot of courage for the victim

the second thing i would share working with officials locally ilocallyis in the brownsville a. it's been a tremendous success as you know with respect across the country it is important that the epa and u.s. government continue to fund the sites i just mentioned to ensure. many of you may not know this but i owned a baseball team in oklahoma city. the baseball stadium that we managed from oklahoma city was a project and was the cornerstone to a franchise eventually making it the location and permanent home in oklahoma city so i believe that the program is extremely important that we focus our attention with funding and outcomes to help citizens at the local level. third, and i think this is equally important and you know this is very key to the infrastructure. when we talk about infrastructure as you are on capitol hill today and tomorrow, infrastructure isn't just roads and bridges, it is water infrastructure and making sure we are delivering safe water to our citizens. we have programs at the epa, $4 billion of the budget is focused on grants. i want you to know i am committe

i think states and localities should make zoning decisions and local economic decisions. that should be a local decision. as should medical malpractice and that should abe state decision and i should write to kerry guns but that's a whole different area of law. this is the state position to understand local conditions and local needs, which is why land use issues have been left to them. sometimes the one size fits all washington answer is not the right answer we want to leave things to local folks. in criticizetion the kilo issue many people blur two issues. whether or not use being eminent domain is a good idea on its merits on the one hand or the other hand where the courts elect the legislature at the federal state or local levels should make that decision as to the first question. the courts decision in kilo did not come out of thin air. it wasn't a case they just kind of first impression. it relied on decades of precedent to hold that a state or city could use eminent domain for public purposes of economic redevelopment. court also made clear states are free to take

that also includes the local tax base which is going to help with finding local schools and so forth. >> sitting here as we are in dupont circle in washington, d.c., we're just a short stroll from the agencies that could make your lives in the short term or the near term a little easier, a little harder, a little more promising, the sba is not too far away from here, the u.s. forest service. are there really easy fixes that the relationship with both your own state governments and the federal government are missing. is there low-hanging fruit that really is kind of easily picked that's being missed right now? >> that's certainly true. when you begin looking at the economic opportunities across rural america there are many, many great opportunities that we miss simply because we don't have the initial investment of resources necessary to move to a state where they can sustain themselves. a good example for us in eastern ohio is in the area of infrastructure. we have many companies that are looking at globally where it makes the most sense for them to locate an operation and eastern ohi

the other piece of this is -- that is easy to neglect, is the local defendant. i don't know if the gentleman across the aisle has ever been sued, i have friends who have been sued. it is a -- it is an emotionally and financially devastating procedure. you've got to take time off from your life and business to defend it. you've got to hire a lawyer, which is incredibly expensive. this is to protect the innocent third party that opened the doors to the federal courts and just make it fair and easier. with that, i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves this egentleman from maryland. mr. raskin: thank you very much. i appreciate my colleague's remarks there. i want to make one point before i yield to my distinguished mr. gue from new york, speaker, my colleague asked taos reckon with the fact that it's emotional devastating for people to be sued. undoubtly -- undoubtedly it is in certain cases. but compare whatever it might feel like to be sued in whatever case you might have in mind with the outrageous emotional devastation caused by asbe

vaughan, you mention how our local on force the agencies have -- local law enforcement agencies have been affected. i was wondering if you could expand on the state criminal alien assistance program and what changes to the reimbursement program might need to be made. ms. vaughan: i think it would be a good idea and more effective to have that reimbursement funding tied to specific cooperation, and that is .c.e. detainers. if a jurisdiction is not honoring i.c.e. detainers, they become ineligible for funding. i think it would be a simple fix to the program that would be more directly relevant to the situation today. chair sensenbrenner: the time of the gentleman's expired. the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: let me think the chairman and ranking member. let me ask a question that deals with fixing the immigration laws and allowing individuals to come from out of the shadows and distinguishing individuals who are here opposed to criminals and others who happen to be unstatused. would you support comprehensive immigration reform? yes or no? sherriff hodgson: i

it's also important for us to keep in mind why we got involved in local government in the first place. what motivated you to serve? yesterday, we asked a few of you that very question and here's what you had to say. >>.

keep the community local jurisdictions. the attorney general to place a high priority on fighting crime, but threatens to withhold much-needed justice department funding from the very agencies that are on the front lines in .rotecting all of us over 600 counties and cities have made the decision to resist the administration efforts to conscript their local officials into a mass deportation force because experience and data show that local enforcement of federal immigration law often makes communities less safe. it breeds profiling. discrimination. distressed. this trust.- immigrants stop reporting crimes to authorities and criminals grow emboldened. studies have shown that the sanctuary cities are actually safer in and more prosperous than their non-station where he counterparts -- nonsanctioned where he counterparts. the guise of reporting the laws, we have already witnessed donald trump and his administration followed through on divisive campaign rhetoric with actions that threaten our and will don values nothing to make

state local officials focus on state and local law. job of your local school teacher to be an immigration official. in fact she or he is not very they're supposed to do. immigration should focus on immigration. i think that's really what they're doing. no one is breaking the law. because there is no requirement for a school teacher to act as an informant to the immigration authority. >> because that's one issue a lot of people are bringing up, saying okay, police, we go back to the whole sanctuary argument, police should be deposition ooh advertised to do work on behalf of immigration. saying apparently montgomery county why didn't the school officials do anything on this. >> i hope the federal government will pay us for all of that. if school officials are suddenly immigration officials they should be paid by the federal government. i think school should be focused on teaching. local police should be focused on crimes. if in fact if you want to stop a rape or you want to stop a violent crime in the community the worse thing to do is t

and i believe that colorado state and local leaders, local users, should have a strong voice on local land management decisions. it is their backyard. yes, it is a public land. but the fact is, they are the ones trying to make a living trying to govern, trying to make decisions that are best for their constituents, and they should have a voice in those decisions. i also firmly believe in managing our public lands under the multiple use philosophy, which promotes recreation, grazing, and energy development with a balanced approach. if the congressional review act, resolution of disapproval on the b.l.m. 2.0 rule is approved and signed into law, there will still be an opportunity to improve management and update policies at the bureau of land management. i think that's one of the areas of misinformation that we see about resolutions of disapproval. there are some who support the b.l.m. planning rule 2.0. there are some who have supported other rules that this chamber has voted to disapprove of through the congressional review act. and those people who support it sometimes get their fact

legislatures continue to pass legislation, they soon gave way to local control. the passing year distanced war from the cause that governors wanted to find. although a few went on to some distinguished political careers in congress, most return to obscurity, many to poverty, and faded from historical memory. the new york times wrote that one governor's departure marked the last of the famous war governors. what a distinguished list, wrote the editor. soon they would be nothing more than a memory. hopefully with this book they now have a history of their efforts. thank you very much.
