Things are pretty out of kilter around here. Even if you take my personal experience out of the picture, most people are acute enough to see that local government applies its regulatory powers on the little people, and opens backdoors for a favored group who have something to barter with. What makes this process nefarious, is the growing reliance on those who have backroom access to push forward public projects. This hand-picked group of civilians are essentially spreading lies and misinformation to everyone else in order to make themselves useful to the powers that be for the benefits it brings them.

In fact, I'm going to go over my post and add details because there are so many twists and turns in the lawyer's arguments that it will reveal that Republicans stand for nothing except results. What happened to my community is exactly what happens when neo-liberals or thirdwayers go along with their schemes.
