WHARTON,<BR/>SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME THAN RIDE AROUND TOWN ALL DAY TRYING TO PUT HONEST HARD WROKING PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS, I THINK I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR YOU. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER GOING TO NEW ORLEANS AND WORKING FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO HELP THOSE WHO REALLY NEED THE HELP. BETTER YET YOU COULD GO TO CALIFORNIA AND HELP THOSE REBUILD FROM THE DEVESTATION FROM THE FIRES THAT OCCURED. I THINK YOU NEED TO SPEND YOUR TIME MORE WISELY IN THE COMMUNITY AND HELP THOSE WHO REALLY NEED HELPING AND NOT JUST THINK OF YOURSELF.

It looks like a towing/storage lot to me. Unless i personally start or try to drive a vehicle, that is when I will be able to tell if its junk or inoperable.

So we now have only two in inspections, both dedicated to new construction inspection, and they refuse to make ordinance enforcement a priority.<BR/><BR/>Looks like only political pressure will carry the day in your case. Does a city councilperson live in your neighborhood? ;)jhshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709303887734376717noreply@blogger.com
