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?

In Whatcom County, the county council members voted themselves the power of approval over everything that is not expressly convered by county code, which meant that small individual windmills on private property had to go through the county approval process and were just summarily turned down. You cannot legally turn over a shovel of dirt in Whatcom County without a permit. They did eventually pass regulations regarding small private windmills.
