Joshua Stevens of Wendover Road,
according to pictures submitted by neighbor Franklin J. Richards II,
built a building eight inches from another building.

Videos: paving and suing @ LCC 2013-05-14

See how the Commission does “the people’s business” one of the
Christian minister Commissioners mentioned in

expressed concerns about a different religion’s choice of location.
No explanation for

why county citizens can’t choose their trash service
or

why the county is suing a local business on behalf of New York City investors,
and

half a million dollars for paving without any competitive bid named
while

one man says the county took his property for road right of way.

One more potential board appointee showed up, for 2 out of 3.
