About 18 years ago, the town of Murray, Utah forced an older couple to sell their small family farm to the city because the city deemed it a "flood plain." The poor woman was suffering from colon cancer at the time. The city used federal monies for the transaction. There has NEVER been a flood remotely near that land though it bordered the ditch known as the Jordan River. The City built a golf course out of it and is raking in lots of money. Never mind the city cooked their books for auditors. The couple found one dirty lawyer to help them get screwed by the city, then another lawyer that advised them not to sue the first lawyer -- not worth throwing good money after bad. Just one big stinking mess. It put both of these good people 6 feet under. The political crooks in Washington DC have nothing over the crooks in Murray.

That sounds like what the local 'officals' are trying to do to a family in Coatesville, Pa. Claim their farm to built a golf course and playing fields.
