A bank rejects "blood money"

This is an amazing story from the Charlotte Observer. "BB&T Corp. said Wednesday it will not lend money for commercial projects on land seized by the government through an exercise of eminent domain."

"'The idea that a citizen's property can be taken by the government solely for private use is extremely misguided, in fact it's just plain wrong,' Chief Executive John Allison said in a statement."

We could use 100s of John Allisons in Corporate America! Blood money MAY add incremental revenue, but it's still blood money.

-Robert Capozzi
