They might have paid a hefty sum for it. But they are just renting it from the taxing authority.

I called the guy. He has always gone through the process for any permits he needed. But this time he was told (in the beginning) that they had no rules. So he moved on with his project.

He was a Tea Party founder in the area, so they are probably looking to put him in his place. I wonder if he'd be getting this treatment if he was an "Occupy" founder.

A letter to the editor would be a good show of support ...how 'bout it?
