Went in to Drop off State Conservation papers off to Bruce Webb. He was so aggitated and I was in his room for 5 min and so just mentioned that I had papers from the State and the worker told me to give them to Bruce Webb. He was overworked and irritable so I asked him if he would want to have someone else copy for him as he ridiculed me for even being there. Now I know hes overworked. Not even concerned about Wetlands big.violations. I cant believe I was treated like that. Who do these officials work for?? I thought it was for the residents... so sad. Any body know of any non local Land attorneys that work on contingency? I have lots of documents I have researched in the last 4 or 5 years. Im so disgusted.
