Owners’ Counsel of America to honor Hannity & Colmes

On Tuesday, January 6, the Owners’ Counsel of America will honor Sean Hannity & Alan Colmes, of Fox News “Hannity & Colmes,”  by presenting the Crystal Eagle award in recognition of their contributions towards the protection and promotion of  private property rights and exposing eminent domain abuse.  Owners’ Counsel of America,  http://ownerscounsel.com/, is a network of experienced eminent domain and property rights lawyers around the nation.
