The Tribune Business of May 7, 2014 revealed sordid details of how government allegedly built a public park and baseball diamond on private property, never consulting the owners, and the Supreme Court recently ruled on the government's wrong doing.

The government was found "guilty" of not following their own laws and owe for the property appraised at $1.23 million and legal fees  of $170,000.

It's not so much that the government, or should I say, the people that work in government, shouldn't make mistakes, after all they're human, but it's what happens when they do, as in this case.

Why don't they hold themselves to the same standards they hold the private sector to.

I cheekily named this Lowe's Law. It's where politician's spend their careers making laws to keep everyone else accountable, and make the average citizen and business play "fair", yet, they refuse to hold themselves (or the Government) to the same standards.

I wonder how many more private properties around the country have been "taken" and used by successive governments without proper compensation? I'd bet this is not an isolated incident.
