Clarendon oversteps authority with law requiring permits for tiny buildings

Thank you Councilman William Campbell for standing up for the residents of the Town of Clarendon and voting no twice on the oppressive, devoid of common sense, and tyrannical Local Law #1 requiring a building permit of detached structures 64 square feet or larger.

You are 100 percent right when you said “I don’t see the benefits to the Town of Clarendon. We should be looking to make things easier for residents.”

The elected officials’ job is not to oppress us but to protect our natural rights and uphold the oath of office one takes when sworn in. Unfortunately many in office see it as a tool to advance the nanny state and act as ruler rather than servant.
