23/ There is no reason to suspect that the town's attorney is a genius ...and yet we all agree that she is 2 or 3 std devs smarter than her clients.https://twitter.com/skirtsnhose/status/1451213153358868488 …

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 …

26/ In this particular case, the zoning code says: - setbacks are 50 and 25 for all structures - with the exception of lots < 2 acres, where setbacks are 30 and 15 for HOUSE ONLY town argued: "but by 'house' we mean 'barns too'" court asked: oh? Do you have a history of that?

27/ town lawyer said: "umm...probably? maybe? Look, man, I realize that court is today, and this date has been scheduled for 4 months, but - tell you what - let me turn in my homework late and I can maybe find data afterwards and send it along?" judge: lol, no

28/ my attorney: judge, if I may? I did a full search through X and Y and Z looking for any evidence to support a finding of administrative gloss in the town's previous interpretation of this code, and I found none judge:pic.twitter.com/ASpS1MaNN2

29/ the important thing to realize is that the defense is being orchestrated by the Board of Selectmen, at least 3 of whom are backing my neighbor.https://twitter.com/skirtsnhose/status/1451215130994167808 …

30/ So they're not just trying to win the case legally, they're sticking their fingers into the case, presumably saying "...and make sure you phrase it that guy XYZ is good and lived here all his life, and Travis sucks donkey balls"

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

Replying to @MorlockP
Quick question, is there any provision in local or state law for penalties for zoning board and town officials who specifically and repeatedly violate a judge's order and refuse to enforce their own ordinances?
