"Couple May Lose Home Over $1.63 Tax Bill"
LIDELL, La. (AP) - A $1.63 property tax bill that never reached its destination in 1996 has turned into a nightmare for Kermit and Dolores Atwood, who are now trying to keep from losing their home over the unpaid notice.

Dolores Atwood calls the events that followed the wayward bill, including the eventual sale of their home at a sheriff's tax sale, "seven years of emotional hell."

"I don't know how much more I can endure," said Atwood, 69, while sitting in a FEMA trailer in front of her Hurricane Katrina-ravaged home north of Slidell.

The couple hope recent state court decisions, which say their home should never have been put up for sale, withstand appeals by a land company.

1. Anything I would and could say about this would probably not
be good to post on the internet. But I hope everyone associated with that 'land company' pays dearly for their greed.

2. These people are STILL going through this???
I thought surely this would have been dealt with awhile back.

If the decision goes against them, I hope every single one of those involved in that decision
(and who profit from it) go to hell, go directly to hell, etc, etc.
