O'Connor May Mediate Dispute

From the Louisville, KY Courier-Journal:

"Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has told a federal court that she is willing to mediate a decades-old dispute over the government's taking of nearly 36,000 acres in Western Kentucky for an Army training camp during World War II.

More than $30 million appears to be at stake in the highly unusual case, in which about 1,000 former landowners and heirs complain that the federal government wrongly benefited from the sale of oil, gas, coal and other mineral rights under the land of the old Camp Breckinridge. The camp sat astride Union, Webster and Henderson counties."
