St. Croix County Property Rights Case Goes to U.S. Supreme Court

A property rights dispute between St. Croix County, WI and the Murr family, who owns a small piece of property along the St. Croix River, will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Murr family own a small 1.25 acre on the banks of the St. Croix River, but the county has forbidden them from building on it, selling it, or doing anything at all with it. The Murrs then asked for just compensation since the county has essentially taken control of the property, but the county only offered 10% of what the Murrs believe that the property is worth.
