James Brown's Possessions To Be Auctioned To Pay Off Taxes

James Brown's possessions will be appraised and auctioned, in part to pay taxes his estate owes, court-appointed trustees said Wednesday.

Attorney Adele Pope would not say exactly what items would be auctioned or how much they were worth. She also refused to say after a hearing how much the estate owed.

Brown died in Atlanta in December 2006, throwing into turmoil the future of his trust, which might include music rights and his 60-acre Beech Island home in western South Carolina.

I also think that Congress has a lot more important things to worry about than to get into baseball's problems,'' Pettini bristled. Joe admits that baseball was guilty of dragging its foot at the beginning but stressed that things have changed. ‘‘We are taking the right steps to try and eliminate steroid abuse,'' he insisted. ‘‘We're being singled out over the other sports and that irritates me.

Our luncheon conversation last week then turned back to the field and his thoughts about the upcoming season.
