I think a lot could be cleared up if Ms Tutt would comment on what legal principle, agreement, or contract makes the CDD responsible to pay a fine and or mitigate, I feel quite confident that she would have a sound response.
The lack of factual comments on the issue has caused numerous conspiracy theories and rumors.
That being said the community and the various CDDs should keep the issue hot by continuing to ask questions of the Police and the CDDs. Someone will eventually blab.
This is not a Quixotic effort. a crime has been committed. The dollar amount of damage would probably rise to the definition of Grand Theft if it had been a robery.
If the Community is responsible for a fine and mitigation, certainly we should comply.
The amount is pennies in the overall scheme of things. It is the principle that is huge.
