Standing his ground

The government wants his land - really wants it - but Jesse Hardy isn't interested. It isn't about money, he says. It's about fighting for what's his.

Hardy paid $60,000 for his 160 acres, now valued for tax purposes at $860,000. The state offered him $711,725 in 2002. He said no.

It offered him $1.2-million in 2003. He said no.

$1.5-million? No.

$4.5-million? No. No. No.

"I know I'm fighting a hell of a big person. I'm fighting the governor of Florida and his Cabinet," Hardy says.
