Nitpickers: Foolish PeopleI have been trying to figure out who is the most foolish. I Watch: Tyrone Developers Hire LawyerHigh density developers, Olde Town Tyrone, has hired top zoning lawyer Doug Dillard to make their final push for 4 houses to the acre in Downtown. After having been thwarted twice in 2007, they will reapply in early 2008 with new engineering plans on the advice of Attorney Dillard. But, with Barry Amos, Valerie Fowler & Town Atty. Brad Sears still on their side, and all the other problems left by the old Council, the new Council will have their hands full. Although the Council will probably vote against the rezoning, they will not heed past warnings, and the Planning Commission is ill-equipped to deal with Dillard. Procedural mistakes will be made, Dillard will sue and win. Past promises made by Amos to the developers will undermine Tyrone’s legal defense. Once the zoning is in place, sewer will follow, and the citizens will be duped again. Its not that the Council wants all this to happen, its because they will follow poor legal advice and not take individual initiative to learn the true facts from their lawyers. BPR: From bpr - Listen pleaseListen and enjoy, sorry could not pick just one so here is two. I love music too much. Thanks to Penguin, Mike King, Hutch, Yardman for making me and Mr.bpr feel welcomed. Cyclist: Should insurance companies be...tried in criminal court if they elect not to approve a procedure and the "covered" individual dies as a result? TyroneConfidential: BRAD SEARS LOSES ZONING CASEOn December 22, the front page of the Tyrone Citizen printed the story "Walker Bros is victorious in lawsuit." The Fairburn City Council had denied walker a business permit. Brad Sears, also Tyrone's Attorney represented Fairburn, arguing that Walker did not follow administrative remedies. That's the same defense he's using in the case of Shelley vs. Tyrone except that Tyrone's Council has denied numerous licenses, when they don't even have a business license law. Tyrone has fraudulently used an Occupational Tax as a Business License. The Citizen Newspaper stated that the case was over before it started. The Judge ruled that Fairburn's actions were a "gross abuse of discretion", again the same complaint in the Tyrone lawsuit. The Judge also noted that Fairburn's Planning Commission presented no studies or facts for the Council to consider. Also, the same problem Tyrone has when they passed Ordinance No. 454. The Judge's ruling now leaves open a damage claim for Walker of Inverse Condemnation, a 5th Amendment taking of land uses without just compensation. The Courts have ruled that the measure of damages extends from the date of taking to the date the decision is ruled void. In Walker's case it is 4 months. In Tyrone's case its 4 years. Tyrone's damages can be computed to over $300,000 to date and increasing every day at the rate of over $6000 per month until Tyrone's Council repeals Ordinance 454; not for just the current lawsuit but for each and every business or property owner denied their land uses.

Bonkers: Reasons make "water-boarding" OK--huh, muddle?The Columnist, L. Chavez, indicates in this paper that since we were scared after 9/11 and some anthrax was being passed around, that we had a right to torture people that we assumed to be the enemy.
