Judge ties controversial Baldwin County landowners to tax evasion scheme - al.com: "BAY MINETTE, Ala. -- A group that's been accused of questionable construction work in Lillian has been tied by a federal judge in Seattle to schemes that help people evade income taxes by forming their own religious organizations, according to court records.

The Family Defense League of Edmonds, Wash., owns nearly 7 acres on Baldwin County 91, where someone is building several small structures without land-use or building permits, according to county officials and records.

There is also a shipping container on the property and a school bus in which people have reportedly been living.

County Attorney Scott Barnett said last week that he would send a letter informing the group of the violations."
