SORRY, I did get off of the track some. But my point is that if we can prouve illegal acts by these guys, that will bring the curtian down a lot faster than just remooving their tax exempt statis will. If we stay aware on both fronts then we will get the job done in the least amount of time. I am in favor of removing their tax exempt cover. I was just trying to add other avenus of attack that might help speed up the process. <br> On the point of checking for I.D. in the trash. I go one step farther with giving our local Sheriff the make, model and serial # on items. Alot of these items can be traced from original sale and warrenty info. I ran into an I H chest freezer that was built in 1953 that found the owner through warrenty info. That person was charged and convicted of illegal disposal of toxic waist. Not for the freezer but for the freon that was still in the system. He got $500 fine + costs plus he was orderd to the county clean up program with 60 hours of service. So to help with our toxic waist there is more than just a name or address in the discarded stuff. I thought of this way to find the violaters and now our sherrif uses this to help keep the county safe. With this in place the county has reduced the expence of cleenup as there is not as many illegal dumpings now. <br><br>Texas Gulf Coast Fisher.
