RALEIGH - Kristin Wallace bought some very wet land as an investment. Eight acres of it, all underneath Lake Lynn.
The Cary woman bought the land for $12,500 last year at a public auction of property with delinquent taxes. Now she is suing to try to force the city of Raleigh or Wake County to buy the soggy land from her or drain it.

Another drain of the taxpayers dollars to contest the lawsuit
