Man ends 15-year standoff over tax dispute in Texas
East Texas man John Joe Gray ends a 15-year self-imposed standoff tied to a nearly 35 000 back tax bill on his 47 acre ranch near Trinidad. Gray, 66, faced a prior 1999 assault charge dropped, vows to defend the property if tax authorities move to seize it, and now lives with his family on solar power and self-grown food awaiting potential tax relief.
