Reply #18: totally agree with Steadman in statement about money & legal fights

[wordpix]

I live in a small town that is ruining itself over development and I've had some good reasons to sue but cohorts and I don't because no one can afford a lawsuit; contrast that to the town fathers, who consider the taxpayers' money theirs to blow and if it's on a lawsuit, so be it.

Government admin. hearings in places like planning and zoning commissions are full of such dilemmas---you've got a good case to make, but you can only take it so far without a lawyer and money. Therefore, you lose if you don't sue, and you also lose if you do sue b/c you're spending your own money on lawyers and work time lost, with no guarantee of outcome.

There's gotta be a better way.
