When you can’t or won’t do what you are supposed to do, like fix the water pipes and maintain the infrastructure . . . Make new ordinances keeping people from simply doing without need for yourself.
In June 2017, then Mayor T-Rampage Gamble and the rest of the City Council were all mad that someone bought a wooden storage building and proceeded to live in it without coonnecting to city utilities thus outside their abilities to “shut them off”. They couldn’t have anyone telling them that they were irrelevant to how they chose to live in Granby on their own city property. So the City Council passed a toothless 750 sq. foot law which will be overturned in the courts if challenged. Whenever not holding the citizens hostage so that they can build an unnecessary sewer improvement scam they can pass lots of city ordinances to apply to others (but not theysselfs).
This is the reality of Granby living. Someone decided to live simply without any need for the Granby City Council-Critters and not be held hostage to Granby city services. So he simply bought a “small-house” in the form of an overgrown wooden storage shed from a kit bought at Lowes or Home Depot or made him a kit. He proceeded to catch water falling out of the sky or to use a composting toilet. He didn’t need or want city services or city government. And T-Rampage and Ira Hawkins and Will Barrett and Tim Murphy and Joyce Mann (fresh from getting put in illegally under color of Granby ‘law’ her own double-wide luxury) were foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs that they couldn’t be “disrespected” in that manner. Why THE LITTLE LORD BABY JESUS told these civic baal-priests that these geezers were Caesars and everyone with the misfortune of living in Granby must render due allegiance and respect to them because they . . . could pass a law. Which they did. A law which is not obeyed by the city council-critters when incoonvenient or by the city crackheads when incoherent and they need to steal something for the very most important things of they’s life which ain’t free — like crack.
Granby City Council-Critters actually are the same morally and mentally as Granby City Crack-Heads — It is just that their drug of choice, where they get theys’ dopamine rush is through telling other people what to do.
Which is why Reggie Bard will be no improvement over Joyce Mann.
They can’t or won’t make their City Clerk learn book-keeping or do the billing. Can’t make their public works director mandate a worksheet protocol detailing what time and money are spent on fixing the water pipes and leaking storm water sewers. A worksheet might show how since April 2013 when the thaw comes the water system loses 64% of the gallons pumped out of the ground so there is a series of quick fixes to get the rate below 60% — According to the Sept 2015 Water Report. A worksheet protocol detailing where the city funding for infrastructure maintenance would show how little is done — or accomplished.
This legistreason accomplishment was run through within two weeks of them holding a “secret emergency meeting” to allow Council-woman Joyce Mann to buy a used trailer to house her daughter and family. So they unlawfully broke theys’ own laws that they selectively enforce against others. I got arrested at that meeting for making fun of the mayor — Granby Ordinance #815. I was duly coonvicted a year later and have applied for a trial de nova which isn’t happening.
Anyways, since these council-criminals can’t obey their own laws, why have any municipal codes at all infringing on the rights of property owners to do with their property as they see fit? As it is now, with massive debt and failing infrastructure it really makes no economic sense to build new housing in Granby and is far smarter to purchase acreage and set up your own septic and water collection systems outside the city limits without the 10-20% additional city taxation.
Living in Granby now means all of the hassle of civic corruption without the benefit of civic amenities like a working water system and honest government.
