Eminent Domain

Found this on FindLaw.com. It is for Pennsylvania but you may be in a similar situation.

"All private rights to air space over land are subject to the right of passage or flight of aircraft. "

I remember reading about your tree issue before. If New York has a similar definition in the homeowners right to airspace, with the same restrictions, the state would be able to use Eminent Domain to take the tree down.

This is going to get interesting. NBC news in Albany shows up at my home yesterday to interview me and get my side of the story. The news story has Airport officials, Saratoga County officials saying the county has not ruled out taking my tree via eminent domain. The nice spokesperson on camera for the Airport said" I need to come to my senses" I really appreciate his comments. This story is even funnier because behind the scenes the town supervisor is trying to broker a deal with me for the airport and county. I am sure all the voting tax payers in the town will love what I have to say when it comes time to vote. County and town politics and big business interest at the expense of the tax payers.
