21/ yes in addition to us having the law 120% on our side, we also have one party (us) who has been following the correct process and dotting 'i's and crossing 't's, and another party who has been YOLO AF (violating C&D, attempting to overturn court)https://twitter.com/Cary_Bleasdale/status/1451212709857579016 …

25/ That was exactly their one defense in the previous court case, that they lost. The legal name for that is "administrative gloss". If the town can show that they have, in the past, treated the word "X" in the zoning code as "Y", they get deference.https://twitter.com/Cary_Bleasdale/status/1451214843109904395 …

31/ One of BoS guys has actually violated conflict-of-interest laws by (a) going on record at a hearing 3 years ago saying "I think my friend the neighbor should get his barn!" and then later (b) serving on the planning board and voting to change the zoning code to screw me
