Local officials in +Lamar County are openly performing favors for friends, completely disregarding state and federal law, tampering with +county tax records, and targeting local political opponents by encouraging illegal and environmentally destructive +construction practices beside their homes, which is costing tax-payers millions of dollars owed to them by law. We have +done our best to document everything, and are still in the process of writing it all out and collecting as much evidence +as we possibly can. The violations to federal and state law are without question, because photos and even sometimes +video evidence was taken while the violations were being performed. Other similar violations are even self admitted by +the developers, but because of social ties to county officials, the county officially refused to even acknowledge the +violations occurred. Which is outrageous. You have the developer contacting the county, openly acknowledging they have +been in violation of the law for over two months, and the county's response was to refuse to admit that anything took +place. + +### Monitored Subdivision + +We have been monitoring two developments in the county, one taking place on a sixty acre stretch of land that runs +alongside Hwy 36, and the other further back off from the highway on a hundred acre stretch of previous timber land. The +former is exemplary of the situation at hand, because of how it came into existence, which was a real estate deal +involving the county's own fire chief. Who openly violated state law by practicing real estate brokering without owning +the property himself, and without the required state licensing. The local fire chief financially benefited from the +brokered sale by receiving a discount of over $100,000 on a different piece of property he then purchased for himself +from the same seller, and was given thousands of dollars in free equipment rental from the buyer, who was temporarily +stealing the equipment from his employer. It was an illegal real estate sale that never should have been allowed to +occur. + +#### Subdivision on Junkyard + +Another reason the smaller of these two developments deserve public attention is because it is a subdivision that is +being built on top of the oldest junkyard in the county. The junkyard was previously owned by the McCollum Bros, and had fallen +out of operation by the 1950's at the latest. Old cars, barrels full of oil, various automotive fluids, radiators, lead +sensors, and buckets of hardened lead paint were allowed to sit outside and deteriorate for at least 50 years or more, +polluting the soil and surrounding land. Since its operation predates all environmentally protective regulations +regarding junkyard pollution it is a known toxic waste dump and a ticking time bomb. Without question, the ground is +polluted with carcinogens and heavy metals. When the McCollum family sold the land, they removed the junk and had it +hauled away, but they did nothing about the pollutants in the soil. The health dept is aware of the situation, but is +powerless to prevent it's construction, and the developers have been informed of the hazards, but don't care. Just from +constructing houses without a building permit and violating the federal soil and erosion prevention act, the subdivision +has generated over 3 million dollars in fines. Combine this with the potential violations encountered for constructing +homes on property not fit for human occupation and real estate fraud for not informing buyers of known property defects, +and you have a disaster waiting to happen. + +### The next future development + +The county just announced a new tax increase and the largest planned development in its history, which has residents +upset. As it appears the current policy of the county is to completely and totally disregard any and all regulatory +policies intended to protect the private property of local residents and the environment. The multi million dollar +development is planned to take place along several thousand acres of land running parallel to I-75. The land has been +primarily used for timber for at least a hundred years or more, and the end result will be an additional 4,000 homes +added to the county. Some individuals refer to this as "progress", but they are mistaken, as progress refers to a +forward movement in the direction of an improved state. When federal laws are violated, people are lied to, the personal +value of their homes destroyed, and the environment is decimated to solely benefit the wallets of a select minority of +individuals, then what you have is the farthest thing from progress. |
