City officials in New London, Conn., voted Monday to evict two homeowners at the center of an eminent domain battle who refuse to leave their riverfront homes. The vote comes in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling last year that the city can seize the property for a private development project. Since then, five of the homeowners have settled with the city and agreed to leave. Two holdouts, Cristofaro and Susette Kelo, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, still refuse to sell.
