I guess I have mixed feelings. Thems the rules. I have requested exemptions and been denied so you move on. These rules have been fought over long and hard and in some ways make sense.
On the other hand if exemptions were as common as Obama did with Obamacare, this should get one.
Should he be given an exemption because of his exemplary service? I don’t know.
The purpose of the rule is to stop building in rural areas, thus the 20 acre rule. But all the 20 acre rule does, is stop rich people form building..................
Take out the service factor, would you give him an exemption? and would it be in the news?
The purpose of the rule is to violate peoples property rights. These people who support these rules have one thing in common, they believe the purpose of a local government is to collect taxes and provide for it’s employees. The last thing they care about is individual rights.
