LETTER OF OBJECTION
May 9, 2005
The Honorable Rod Jetton
Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives
State Capitol, Room 308
Jefferson City, MO 65101
RE: CCS HCS SS SCS SB 237
This is to notify you and others that I hereby am filing a constitutional objection to said bill for the following reasons:
1. That CCS HCS SS SCS SB 237, by allowing a private cable company to place its lines within the right of way of Missouri’s state highways without compensating the owner of the property underlying the right of way, is in violation of Article I, Section 28 of the Bill of Rights of the Missouri Constitution which states that private property shall not be taken for private use without compensation.
2. That CCS HCS SS SCS SB 237, by allowing a private cable company to place its lines within the right of way of Missouri’s state highways without compensating the owner of the property underlying the right of way, grants to a private company a special privilege in violation of Article 3, Section 40 (28) of the Missouri Constitution and contrary to the decision of the Missouri Supreme Court in Planned Industrial Expansion Authority of the City of St. Louis v. Southwestern Bell Telephone, 612 S.W. 2d 772 (Mo 1981).
Sincerely,
/s/ John P. Burnett
State Representative
District 40
