Case Study:
Private Property Rights - Conaway Ranch
When Yolo County sought to use gambling profits to seize the
17,000 acre Conaway Ranch, local community leaders sought out
River City Communications to draw attention to what became a national
symbol of eminent domain abuse. River City Communications managed
and developed grass-roots and media strategies that attracted
state and national media attention to Conaway Ranch and the need
to reform California’s eminent domain laws. The negative
public opinion generated by these efforts led the County to abandon
its eminent domain proceedings against the Ranch.
As part of the efforts to protect Conaway Ranch, River City Communications
was entrusted to establish the California Alliance to Protect
Private Property Rights (The Alliance). The Alliance is a coalition
of family farmers, community and taxpayer advocates committed
to exposing the dangers and abuses of eminent domain. River City
communications continues to work with the Alliance to pursue legislative
reforms to protect private property rights.
