Tennessee is not the issue. The families have a deeded easement leading from a public road in Tennessee into and across their property. The state of Tennessee acknoledges this easement. However, the Madison County in Alabama claims the easement doesn't exist even though it is recorded in Alabama. There is much more to this than property easements and house numbers. Please see my post number nine discussing the involvement of the Land Trust Of North Alabama and Huntsville.

Thanks, it makes more sense now. From the article, something didn't add up other than simple bureaucratic disinterest.

Is there any way of establishing that conflict of interest? Seems such would render the attorney liable to be sued and both the County and the Land Trust with him. Thems are some deep pockets, especially if you can identify the foundations funding the trust. When they've got more to lose than you do there is opportunity to get something to shake loose.

What might be the profit interest supporting that non-profit trust (there almost always is one)? Are there any mineral resources in that area? Water rights?
