Incidence here is an example of the so-called backlash variables that have been shown to correlate with the decision to reform eminent domain law across US states (Lopez and Totah, 2007;Lopez et al, 2009). It is expected that states with higher per capita takings are more likely to present voters with a proposition to restrict the use of eminent domain power and require compensation for police power.…”
