How exactly have you been aggrieved?



IIRC you mentioned somewhere that you and your wife were unable to enjoy prosperity on your land or something like that. Can you please explain what that means and how did the council and mayor accomplish that?



I saw in one of your videos where you questioned the mayor about him filing bankruptcy. Did he owe you money that was discharged in his bankruptcy case? If not, why is that important to you?



If memory serves me correctly you said that this is going to make national news. If so, maybe if affects others here. So we really need to understand the situation.

So if I understand correctly you filed an ethics complaint against him for no reason other than the fact that he filed bankruptcy?

Let me help you Ram. In Russ' town a man isn't free to do what he pleases on his own land due to zoning ordinances.

The city council zoned his property in such a way that he couldn't do what he wanted to do, with his property. What did he want to do? Unclear.

This pissed Russ off. He started going to their meetings and trolling them.

The council didnt like that. They said they would re-zone his land and take care of the matter. He asked for it in writing. To my knowledge they refused to do that.

Being the FOG that he is, he started digging **** up on them, stuff that would question their own legitimacy and ability to serve.

I think one of them quit bc they owed bookoo taxes to the state of Illinois, and North Carolina?

Classic case of revenge, Rammie. Russ was/is a thorn in their side.

I know you're Rambo, but think of the movie Rambo.

Russ is Stallone, and the city Council is Sheriff Teasle. All Russ wanted "was something to eat." Why did they "keep pushing him?" Russ "gave em a war they wouldn't believe."

The end.

spacing helped immensely.

So in a nut shell you really don’t have any proof the mayor has mismanaged public funds. Your problem is how he manages his own finances?

So here’s an off the wall question? Do you support Donald Trump? I’m asking simply because he’s also filed bankruptcy a time or two so I’m looking for clarity.

Then the other problem seems to be that you’re unable to sell your property because of a zoning problem? If so, have you contacted the title company who handled the abstraction? You probably have a title policy. If so they can probably clear this up real quick.

Still have no idea how you are being prevented from “prospering off your land.” What EXACTLY does this mean? What is it you want to do that you are being prevented from doing? You still haven’t answered that.

The link you provided to the ethics filing links to the actual ethics code. I didn’t see anything in that code that prevents someone who has filed bankruptcy from holding public office. So it seems to me you’re wasting time and resources making an issue of it absent any proof that he has mismanaged public funds. In fact it paints you as a person just looking for any excuse valid or not to complain.

But, I find it interesting that as far as you’re concerned if someone has the RIGHT message then the fact that they have used the bankruptcy code to protect themselves is ok. But, if you have a disagreement with them then it seems that in your eyes they are unfit to hold public office. Isn’t that a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.

As far as grammar is concerned if one wants someone to understand their thoughts it’s important for that person to articulate them in such a way that those thoughts are in fact understandable. You may know what’s going on, but if you can’t write in a way that others can understand then you’re wasting your time writing anything.

Absolutely not. Under no circumstances would I vote for him. I’ll vote for whomever is the GOP nominee.

Crazy thread. Hook, line and sinker.

If Hog wants to re-zone his property and/or build on it, he totally lacks the experience to accomplish what he wants and is off-track towards meeting his goal by making it personal.

He either needs to sell the land to someone (who will obtain the zoning change) and then pay its value once its zoning is changed. Or, he can hire a real estate lawyer who is a professional at what he is trying to accomplish.. I'd be surprised f anything else worked.

The lawyer is easy. Find one and pay to see him/her for an hour to see if you even have a chance.

If you don't want to do that, perhaps you can list the property with a commercial real estate broker who will know who and how to sell the land for maximum commercial value.

Could be worse….

He could have started a thread about it.

Right!!

Good question. An even better one is what is his grounds for a civil lawsuit? Still haven’t figured that out.

I’m old enough in CBid years to remember the late night drunk calls….

I’m just glad this is your biggest problem now, good to see ya posting and fighting the good fight.

Good to hear Russ.

If you ever make it make down south I’d love to buy you a beer.
