ASU drops eminent domain case against historic Phoenix home, community celebrates victory
Arizona State University has dropped its eminent domain case against the Louis Emerson Home, a historic pre-statehood property in Phoenix's Churchill neighborhood, ending a two-year legal battle that rallied preservationists and community members across the city.
Robert Young, the property owner, said the news came in an early morning phone call.
"The gentleman called me and said that Michael Crow had decided that I could have a house that didn't have to be moved," Young said.
Young, 89, had refused to settle or back down throughout the proceedings. He and Barry Schwartz, the current tenant of the home, were set to appear in court September 4th to argue why the house should not be taken.
MCSO MASH Minute: Meet Lucero, a rescued gelding looking for an experienced horse owner to call home
Lucero has been living at the MASH Unit since coming under MCSO custody following an animal neglect investigation in the far West Valley.
"This is Lucero. He is a big boy, and he is 7-8 years old, and he's a horse that we took on a starvation case way out west," Det. Dave Evans said.
When Lucero arrived at the MASH Unit, he was in poor condition.
"When we got him, he was really underweight. His hoofs were really bad," Evans said.
Lucero has since been cleared for adoption by the MASH Unit's equine veterinarian. He enjoys turnout, knows basic handling, and has a playful personality with a stubborn streak, making an experienced horse owner who can provide patience and care a good match.
