It is the property’s most attractive feature, and because the government said so, they have to remove it. Although, Jon and Sabrina Carey purchased the 10-acre property near Butte Falls two and a half years ago, the pond has been in place for 50 years. That fact doesn’t remotely matter to the Jackson County Watermaster’s Office.

When you’re honest, they take everything away from you,” said Sabrina Carey, who inspected country records — which plainly showed the pond — before they purchased the property. Going by the book might have been the ‘fatal’ error for the couple, however, since the county didn’t take issue with the pond until Jon sought to grow legal medical cannabis on the land and had to prove there was a viable source of water for the grow operation.

“I basically bought a lemon,” said Jon, who became teary-eyed at the edge of the partially ice-covered body of water being targeted by government, in an interview with the Mail Tribune.

Sort:  

Hire a lawyer and sue the bastards. Someone may agree to take the case Pro Bono, as it has the potential for national news.

If the pond has been there that long, it is likely now a historic feature with wildlife now dependent on its existence.

People are sick and tired of petty government officials interfering with people's private property rights, so take heart you are not alone.
