<div id="ygrps-yiv-632166025">As a resident of Rhode Island........<br/>
<br/>
      This was in the news about 15 months ago when a court case <br/>
about (I think) drunk driving caused a lawyer to go out with a GPS <br/>
system to the scene of the crime.  The aftermath is the border as we <br/>
know it is probably about 40 feet wrong with Rhode Island having too <br/>
much property.  A town in Connecticut wants the property taxes of the <br/>
new border.   The RI legislator working on it has a considerable <br/>
amount of pull (ie. he is a Kennedy)  and they may resolve it in <br/>
Rhode Islands favor.  The town in Connecticut is looked upon as being <br/>
a bit of a money-grubber here in Rhode Island.  There is one old lady <br/>
on the RI medical plan and about 3 kids who will have to move schools <br/>
if it works in Connecticuts favor.<br/>
<br/>
  Cleary to the letter of the law and the GPS system they are <br/>
actually in Connecticut.  What they want to do is &#39;grandfather&#39; those <br/>
houses&#39; into Rhode Island.   In the article it mentioned that tax <br/>
bills were sent to the 15 or so houses&#39;   The town was stupid enough <br/>
to put Rhode Island as the state on the envelopes of those bills and <br/>
that might swing it enough for a federal court.<br/>
