SapeloTax

Sapelo Island resident Maurice Bailey catches a quick nap on the ferry back to the mainland from Sapelo Island, Ga. The state of Georgia's Department of Natural Resources operates the public access ferry that is used by residents, employees and visitors to the African Geechee-Gullah community of Hog Hammock. Property owners are facing higher taxes, and fees from the county tax collector threatening an already fragile community of Hog Hammock. (Stephen Morton for The New York Times)
