So when do we start the revolution in Snohomish County government?
These people like to permit and regulate us to death. We don’t really own our property any more, as it seems Snohomish County leaders do. We can’t cut our own trees, move our own dirt, build a rock wall on our property, build a home, put in a septic system, build a road, and the list goes on and on which requires getting a permit first.
Development of your property … well, you can just about forget that unless you’re a huge developer with lots of money. Most of these permits have outrageous prices for what you get, and granted, some inspections are necessary for good reason. To require a permit to put a star on a flag pole is way over the top. Except for atheists and county leaders I’m sure no one could care less whether the Park Ridge Community Church got a permit to put up that star or not. (Tuesday article, “Do you see what I see?”)
Once again the government ignores the separation of church and state as they are constantly telling the church what they can and cannot do. After all, the judicial branch is part of the government right along with the executive branch and legislative branch, all wishing to regulate religion in one way or another. All you liberals need to go out and elect more of the liberal radicals that create all these problems. We are rapidly becoming a government of the government by the government and for the government. I believe this is what the Third Plank of the Communist Manifesto is based on. Wake up, people.
