Tampa Bay sued by family for 22.7 million dollars  |
| |
|  A family heirloom handed down through the generations that was written in the early years of the civil war a family is trying to collect on.
What was originally a 299.58 cent loan, with a note given to the shop keeper in 1861--the family kept this note all this time,
They have now sued the city for the note and 8 percent interest....the city of course is fighting this. They say too much time has passed, and of course the city is broke.

Ok, what are your thoughts on this? Should the city be forced to pay the promisary not back? Or will they have grounds to stand on that too much time has passed. Keep in mind that the Seminole Tribe was paid for land illegally taken from them in the 1820s
Should the city pay or not?

| |  As far as I am concerned way too much time has passed. Wonder why it took so long to try to get their money? Sounds like tax dollars going to waste in court over this.

| |  Yes, I think the city should pay...they owe the family $299.58. The note has been handed down for ...what?? 150 years or so??...the family could have gone in at any time to collect and they chose not to.

| | Actually, on second thought...the promissory note was to a store for goods purchased. That was probably written off a long time ago as bad debt but regardless the city owes the store the money. So, unless the business is still in existence... | | | |

| | I'm getting really tired of the natives making these rediculous land claims.
Yesterday in Vancouver BC I think it was, they walked in and interupted a church service to issue some bogus eviction notices to the Catholic Church to vacate premises on the grounds that they were illegally there and such. And that this land was claimed by them and their tribe...
Well there is an answer to this and that answer is... "ENOUGH ALREADY!!! NO! CLAIM DENIED!!! GET OUT AND GET OUT NOW!" There. That was easy. The natives have now been granted what they wanted for all these years. Full inclusion into white society with the right to own their own land, to buy and sell to whom ever they want to, and the right to pay taxes just like us. They can even obey the same conservation laws as white folks too. Here is your arbitrated settlement, now get out.
It's enough already. | | | | | | |

| |  No, the city should not have to pay for several reasons.
The city is not the same one that took out the loan in the first place... this article plainly states that the original Tampa was abolished after this note was issued and then reincorporated about 30 years latter.... therefore the modern Tampa is not the same entity that issued the note.
This appears to have been a conferate contract, and as such is invalid.
Finally, the length of time invovled here pretty much makes that note unenforceable, espicially if the business who accepted the note is no longer in business.
I am sure the lawyers will come up with many other reasons as well.... but at least this old lady has a nice collectable.
