HAHAHAHA just found a new thing
On 4 June three huge concrete trucks showed up at barn-neighbor's house. There was no valid building permit, so I called the building department to stop the illegal construction.
Secretary said building officer wasn't in

5/ This email chain that just turned up is magic, tho. It's like a Leatherman pocket tool - it packs so many useful features into such a small space. First, we've just blown up the building department assistant's lie that there's no cell phone. but >>>

6/ What did we see so far? * Building department contacts ONE member of the public with an urgent matter. Why did the building department contact barnneighbor, but not me?
* Building dept says "call me" ... to keep it out of email [ which is discoverable ]Show this thread -
7/ So...what was said in that phone call? Sadly we'll likely never know. I mean, probably not. The only way we'd ever find out is ... if barnneighbor RESPONDED TO THE EMAIL THREAD AND TYPED OUT THE SECRET INFORMATION THAT HAD JUST BEEN CONVEYED IN PRIVATE!!!pic.twitter.com/KYC230dI2P

9/ it doesn't leap off the page like "yes, !@# Travis, we are going to break the law ha ha ha!" ...but it's still pretty damned clear. 1) town gov initiates a law change, for the benefit of one party 2) town proactively reaches out to that party, arranges off-record phone callpic.twitter.com/WL76JskLuz

10/ 3) in the phone call they say "ok, we're changing the law. Now, here's the important thing: you have to specifically ask for a delay in your variance application...oh, and also, ask me for a copy of the proposed law change."
