Pistons sale talks bogged down, Davidson turns to previous bidders

[3WC]

The best estate lawyer in Mi [[and several other states) claims that the Federal Estate Tax is the only voluntary tax there is. That is, if you pay any it's your own fault as you did not engage in prudent estate planning, thereby avoiding [[not evading) the damn thing.

You know, all this tax stuff makes me laugh. I've heard that Mr. Davidson was always late making payments with his businesses and it would be just deserts if his heirs got stuck with a nice tax bill.

The Pistons accounting department is horrible. A few years ago one of their reps sold me some advertising package for $6,300

I was susposed to get 60% co-op dollars to help cover part of the advertisement, but they never presented me with a correct invoice to submit so I could get re-imbursed.

So I never paid them!

A few years later they call me up trying to collect the $6,300 and I told them I was not paying it because they never gave me a proper invoice to submit to co-op.

I settled with them for $2,500, which was the 40% I was susposed to pay from the beginning after the co-op re-imbursed me.
