you lucky if that old post office is stil open. they are talking of closing lots of them down. might as well, the postal workers all combined owe about 300.000,000 in unpaid income taxes. If I didn't pay my taxes the irs would take everything i got. how do govt. employees and postal workers get away with not paying their taxes?
Phillip, We only have minerals out there now, a little over 175 acres in D. Hoffman. The family land is a little over 440 acres I think. It was my wife's family ranch for 100 years or more(an aunt owns the surface). It is in the NW part of the survey. I haven't been there in 7-8 years. It is the circle-d ranch. Her grandfather was C.T. Dorsey, it was his land.
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
