Port LaBelle Inn Land Now Home For Cows
LABELLE, FL. -- The owner of the Port LaBelle Inn is now pasturing six cows on his acreage adjoining the motel. Richard Siebel says in order to save on property taxes he has fenced off the land and will place cattle there in order to qualify for an agricultural exemption from the Hendry County Tax Appraiser's office next year.

Hey the answers are there just stop going to bed with drug dealers and promote a clean community.- Be an American Patriot (wherever you are from)... turn in a drug dealer today!
