The best ending to this situation boils down to the fact that it is going to take a concerned group of citizens to make a commitment to cleaning up this cemetary. If I lived in the area, I would volunteer. My husband and I are boy scout leaders and for an Eagle Project we have taken on the task of cleaning up an old country cemetary where we live. It's not going to be a pretty task because the grass is grown up 2-3 feet high around the graves. But I think we, as activists for preserving history, all agree that this is important in doing just that. Taxing for this should not be an option. In my opinion, if people are concerned enough to bring this situation into light, then they need to put together a group to take care of it.
