You lose the Judge assigns "Court Costs" as part of your fine. That is SOP
for the arbitrary assholes.

Damn City Hall. I get a damned letter to pay
' Building Inspections ' for a permit for my roof
I just put on.
I replaced it, not built it.
I called Inspections , ' How much is a Permit to change
a Light Bulb ? ' 'Whaaa...Nothing he says.'
I can live in a home with a leaking roof, but being
blind at night sounds like a Public Health issue and
I don't want to get Arrested. So why a Permit for a roof,
but not a light bulb ? You know, a guest can get wet,
but if he trips and breaks his leg at night as he can't see..
well its a whole different thing right ?


The asshole hung up on me. Hey, it said any questions
just call this number. So, I called. He swore a little also.

What a revolting development. Jones, know anyone
I can get smokes from while I'm in the Graybar Hotel ?

State Code takes precedence over City Codes.
State says no charge for replacement.
I can say it was VA money therefore its a Federal
Grant if I can pull that one off....
Court costs will kill them even if I lose.
I pay the fine and walk. I bet it equals the permit price.
One will win, all City Halls must have 3 copies of all
Codes for Public use, none do....Hmmmmm....
this may be fun !

If I made Light Bulbs there are a ton of Laws to meet,
but none to replace one ? There otta be a Law.
