They destroy everything they touch and they are able to act with total impunity because of the county and municipal cronyism and nepotism

thank you for that explanation
On a side note, I went in front of the County Commission this past Wednesday to appeal denial of a permit. It’s only taken a bit over three years to get my day in “court”. While waiting for my item to come up on the agenda I got to listen through an hour of newly arrived carpetbaggers complain to the BOCC about the noise from F-18A’s taking off and landing at Boca Chica Naval Air Station. They had no idea that when they purchased property in the flight path of a Navy base that’s been there since 1917 that there would be noise.
It’s just seriously ruining their lives, they said.
Even after thirty five years of being exposed to the clowns that sit on the BOCC, I was amazed as every one of the 5 BOCC members swore with a straight face that they were going to stop the Navy from making noise. Over the years they have ruined industries of fishing, construction, retail and now they’ll try to interfere with the $600 + Million a year that Boca Chica contributes to the local economy.
Finally my appeal was heard. I lost on a 3-2 vote. I had to endure the contempt of Commissioner Heather Carruthers, who actually had her head down on the long desk during parts of the meeting. She wanted to know why I even bothered hiring an attorney and a land use consultant and why I was wasting their time.
They like to say...... “All politics is local”...the rot begins in the smaller communities and spreads up the food chain.
