How Much Would It Cost To Kill Your Town?

Question: How much would it cost a company to kill a town, destroy the livelihood of most its current inhabitants, and change the landscape forever?

Answer: $500,000,000 - or approximately $15,000 per resident after twenty years of waiting for a so-called "speedy trial".

Reason: It helps if this happens during the lawless reign of an oil-man and more than half of the highest court owe their lifelong cushy gig to like-minded individuals.
