Wonder how long it took for them to get a permit? Did they go through an expediter? Seriously, it makes me laugh that everyone thinks the arrests of 4 people made a change in the way the Town does business. One was found totally innocent. The supposed ring leader plead to about 20% of the charges. Probley would have been a savings to the taxpayer if they weren't arrested. What is it - 4 years and 3 Buildings Commissioners later, and people still can't get permits?
