Notwithstanding a promise to abide by a moratorium on taking the homes of the individual homeowners in Kelo, the New London Development Corp. has issued eviction notices to them and demanded the payment of rent. BizzyBlog has the story (with a bit of pungent commentary too). More here and here.

The CEO of the development agency contends that the communications are not actually eviction notices, but does not provide a different explanation for what they are. The developers also argue that the moratorium only applies to new takings, not to these properties for which the development corp. already holds title.
