Eminent domain questions for Blackwell & Petro

I just e-mailed the gubernatorial campaigns of Ken Blackwell and Jim Petro and asked the following question:

Would [candiate name here] support Ohio legislation to permanently prohibit the use of eminent domain for economic development purposes (see Kelo v. New London)?

I realize that the Ohio legislature passed a temporary moratorium on this kind of government taking, which expires in December. I asked instead about a permanent ban.

I'll let you know how the candidates reply, if at all. My guess is that at least one (and maybe both) will duck the issue and defer to the "Legislative Task Force to Study Eminent Domain and Its Use and Application in the State", which will release its first report on April 1st.
