More than 2,800 [Sebastian FL] voters turned out Tuesday to elect council members and approve a referendum.
Sal Neglia won re-election. Al Paternoster also won a seat on the Sebastian City Council.
And by an 88-percent margin a referendum to amend the city’s charter, forbidding the city to use the power of eminent domain to take a property and then transfer the rights to the property to a private party in pursuit of economic development.
That vote disallows the rights provided to cities by the U.S. Supreme Court in a ruling last year
