maybe that's the issue - here in my little corner of jersey, our community makes a lot more than covering the cost of the operation. some in city hall refer to it as one of the town's cash cows! i just hate to see f.p. lose out on the funds generated by those permits and inspections!
thanx for the post - and i get it.
