Ownership dispute over out-of-state cemetery looms
Prosecutors contend out-of-state owners failed to maintain the cemetery as required by state law. The city has operated under a court order since May 2005 without owning the land. The state seeks more than $1 million in damages from Mike Graham & Associates and officers. City officials note monthly upkeep costs around $10,000 and limited ability to offset them without clear title. Public complaints about overgrown tombstones sparked scrutiny starting August 2004.
