John Rich Defends Landowners Against Eminent Domain | Birmingham News
Description
John Rich, country music star turned land rights advocate, is taking on power companies in nine states to defend property owners facing eminent domain. He’s personally involved in a standoff with Alabama Power over a disputed transmission line route, accusing the company of stonewalling and refusing direct answers—even redirecting his inquiries to outside lawyers. Rich sees land ownership as a sacred American right and believes utility firms must exhaust all alternatives before seizing property. He’s rallying public support, framing the fight as a moral duty rooted in neighborly love and respect for those who own the land. While Alabama Power insists its route follows engineering standards and avoids unnecessary impacts, Rich vows to keep amplifying these cases until landowners are treated fairly.
