Posted this on the BCC technical difficulties thread, but it got buried quick, so starting a separate thread. This story should have some county staff very worried. I had heard a rumor last year that Kerr was forced out. Kudos to Outzen for contacting Lloyd Kerr. “Most of these pit owners were connected,” Kerr said, “so I don’t doubt that there would have been or probably was some political pressure somewhere along the way to not actively enforce the ordinance.” Kerr said his own staff had not been pressured to give pit owners a pass in this instance. However, he added such pressure was a daily fact of life within the county office complex. Kerr said it was common for developers, when they did not get their way, to complain to commissioners, who would often pressure staff into bending or breaking the rules to suit their constituents’ interests. He said the pressure was usually indirect. MUST READ~~ inweekly.net/wordpress/?p=20187
