03/02/2011 11:00 PMAs I continue to jump through the hoops of the Planning & Zoning subdivision process, which I began in 2006, I have encountered every form of corruption imaginable and, to sum it up, our once-removed and rehired ZEO and I spent countless dollars on lawyers' engineering, only to be pushed away on some technicality.
Most recently, I have reconstructed my plan, but as usual, everyone connected to it has been given instructions, including our honorable code official (now newly appointed fire marshal). They even went as far as having the local cop roust me.
The taxpayers need to get out there and fight to remove these [officials] and an ethics commission should be the first order of business in this town. It's not everyone on these commissions, but the few honest ones are controlled by the corrupt.
