Being a retired EE, having seen both 230kV and 365kV lines go up across the range here in Nevada, and seeing how much disturbance there is to the ground around the towers, she was probably saying things like:
“Why are you making such a mess? The easement said you would take a strip only ‘X’ wide, but this mess is a lot wider than that! When are you going to pay for this? Who is the supervisor? You don’t get to complete this until you pay for the land you’ve messed up that you didn’t specify in the easement settlement.”
If her story is as reported, the deputy may well be guilty of oppression under color of law.
Thank you for adding some sanity to a thread fast approaching the bozo zone.
You are 100% correct. I have a 5-foot easement on the far edge of my property. When a fire broke out 1/2 mile away in the adjoining woods, do you think the fire trucks used the public fire lane? Noooo, they used not just the easement on my property, but my entire back yard, leaving deep ruts and breaking down my herb garden and wall. The grass has never recovered in one area, despite reseeding, due to the weight of the trucks making the ground so hard. Guess I should have sued for a foot-deep rototill and a complete resodding, but I try to be cooperative. I, too, am an old lady, and I too, was threatened with arrest when I questioned the driver of an unmarked fire jeep from an entirely different township rode past 3 feet from my back door for a fire 1/2 mile away into the woods, so far you couldn't even smell it.
