[AT] Local Gov't Wants Old Tractors Removed

[CRAWLER HEAVEN/ED CHRISTOPHERSON]

 I have spent years and thousands fighting what i call or believe is
unconstitutional "ZONING LAWS"   I believe that they have a place ,but for
safety and health, not to dictate peoples lives!  I believe they(goverment)
had that control before in history,remember Nazi Germany !! On my road
across the street is a landfill ,Garlocks&Mobil Chemical dumped there for
years also three doors down is another land fill same thing then next to
that is a garabge business,behind me is 10 acres of compost that is turned
with a big machine every week ,on the other side of me is a farm milkin
about 500 head and i have been dragged through the system for years because
i'm not third generation in this town and i'm not in the "boys club".. There
are 16 homes on this road 8 owned by two farms and i had 26 signatures only
one family,that use to have a in home business but just retired ( now sits
in window smokin lucky strikes and watching everything i do and calls town
constantly) sign and say didn't care if i had all my tractors. If they start
taking freedoms away in the country whats next and where???   ED
